Alex Dmitrienko has researched and published so much, that without a doubt, he can be called one of the world-class experts in the field of multiplicity. E.g. his book Multiple Testing Problems in Pharmaceutical Statistics contains a wealth of practical information on this topic.

In part 2 of this interview with Walt Offen, we cover:

– Having courage to speak up in all settings
– Listen carefully to others; ignore rank within the company
– Instituting any new rule or policy must affect the leader equally
– Grab opportunities when they come your way, even if you do not feel ready.
– See the issue from other’s perspectives
– Understand, appreciate, and celebrate diversity of thought, personality, skills, and beliefs
– Always strive to get better and help those around you
– Do not take “we’ve always done it that way” as an acceptable answer
– Be a solid role model
– Develop self-confidence; be able to laugh at yourself

In this episode, I have the privilege to interview Walt Offen – a statistician who is about to end an amazing career over a couple of decades of working in the pharmaceutical industry.

In this episode, we start by showing in two personal examples how delegation improves your productivity amazingly or how it can lead into complete disaster.

Getting things done through others is a key part or even the definition of leadership and her clients face often the same situation like statisticians. They need to convince people rather than commanding them.
