Sharon Rogers Ph.D Creative and Tenacious in fighting Alzheimer's Disease

Sharon Rogers Ph.D AmyriAD works on drug treatments for Alzheimer's disease. She has pulled together a team of dedicated mostly female leaders to work on these treatments and believes women have had to evolve their leadership style in different ways to men partly because of evolution."I think that that may go way back into the history of civilization. I think that by and large women we are the smaller, we're not going to survive based on brute strength and the dominant theories, what we're going to survive on is based sometimes on our ability to cajole sometimes on our ability to outsmart sometimes on a lot of different ways of handling people. And sometimes it's a matter of looking at a more dominant player, seeing what is it that they need out of the interaction. And you can't tell me that a mother with children doesn't know how to figure out how to deal with those situations where you've got a group of people fighting, and you've got to sort it out. Personally, I don't have children, so I cannot draw from that marvelous experience. You do spend a lot of time realizing that you can't go in and dominate all situations, you have to find a better way and the best way to make that successful is find a way we're just pretty much everyone can come out feeling like they didn't lose much.<br />On leadership style Sharon Rogers believes that you don't have one leader out front, taking all the glory. "You bring everyone from your team up on the celebration float with you and celebrate together. I saw that leadership in action when I was quite young, in the industry and I watched this person lead that way and I watched the accomplishments of the team. I always always kept that in mind that no team is any better than the people who are really slugging along and they're making things happen.Dr Rogers shares her Five Pearls of Wisdom, her advice on managing personal finances and her go to song Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way'.
