In this laser-focused episode, Kemi zeroes in on a pervasive yet often unspoken issue in academic medicine and public health: the dual role of research mentor and direct leader / supervisor. Kemi dissects the inherent conflict of interest when one person plays both mentor and leader, offering four actionable steps to ensure these relationships remain healthy, productive, and free from the pitfalls of power dynamics. From recognizing the conflict to seeking external counsel, she doesn't hold back on her expectations for both mentor-leaders and mentees.  

 This episode isn't just a call to awareness—it's a blueprint for cultivating psychologically safe professional environments. Join in for a candid, no-nonsense discussion that could redefine your career trajectory.
