What happens when technically brilliant engineers are promoted into leadership roles without the skills or support to manage people effectively? In this episode of The SAFE Leader Podcast, Dr Mark McBride-Wright is joined by Jeremy Doran, founder of NeuroConversant Leadership, to explore the challenges of transitioning from technical expert to effective leader. Drawing on his background in mechanical engineering and psychology, Jeremy shares insights into why communication often breaks down in technical environments, how cognitive diversity strengthens teams, and why leaders need to adapt their approach to people who think and work differently. They also discuss the power of storytelling, what improvisation can teach us about listening, and the growing importance of human connection in an AI-driven world.
