Academic Writing Amplified
295: [Mid-Career Series] Leading for Legacy (Re-Release EP 105)
11 Nov 2025
After tenure, it can feel like everyone is depending on you, from students to your junior colleagues, your co-authors, and even your family. In this episode, I explore what it really means to lead for legacy at this stage in your academic career. Leadership isn't about taking on more work or moving into administration. It's about how you show up for others while also taking care of yourself. I'll share how to lead in a way that sustains both you and the people who look to you for guidance. Then, I break down why it is okay to focus your energy on your academic mission and cementing your legacy, even if that means saying no to people who helped you reach tenure. From prioritizing your wellbeing to reshaping your career to be what you want, I challenge you to shift your mindset on leadership. Listen in to learn how to lead for legacy without burning out, and how to model a new kind of success in academia. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.
