March is Women’s History Month, and we are highlighting Imperial leadership. Liz Wegner, Project Manager III and supervisor, shares how curiosity and clear communication guide her work with clients and teams.

The qualities I rely on most as a leader are curiosity and communication. Over time, I’ve learned that some of the most meaningful leadership moments come from being willing to ask “why” and recognizing that I don’t always have the full picture.

In the fast‑moving, complex world of clinical trials, staying curious helps me understand the
intent behind requests or challenges. That discipline has helped me make better decisions, avoid unnecessary risk and surprises, and stay focused on the bigger picture.

Communication is what brings that understanding to life. I work hard to be transparent and approachable, whether I’m partnering with clients or supporting my team. When people share a clear sense of the bigger picture, the work has a stronger foundation to improve.

To me, leadership is about creating an environment where questions are encouraged, different perspectives are respected, and people feel comfortable speaking up. When teams understand the “why” behind their work and feel genuinely heard, they’re empowered to deliver thoughtful, reliable service that builds trust and truly makes a difference.

March is Women’s History Month, and we are highlighting Imperial leadership. Siân Lukaszewicz, creative and language services manager, shares the principle that guides how she supports her teams.

For me, leadership is rooted in being ready to take on the same tasks as my team. When I join in on the tasks my team is responsible for, I gain a real understanding of their challenges and the effort behind the work they do. It also helps me offer feedback that’s grounded in appreciation and firsthand knowledge.

The best way to build a strong, supportive team is to be in the thick of the work alongside your team members. Stepping into roles when needed strengthens trust and reinforces shared purpose. Leading alongside the team creates an environment where people feel supported, capable, and proud of what they accomplish together.

March is Women’s History Month, and we are highlighting Imperial leadership. Hope, director of project operations, reflects on a lesson that shaped her approach to leading teams.

The most powerful leadership lesson I’ve ever learned was from a colonel during my time in the Air Force. He taught me how to connect with team members by genuinely caring about who they are as people. When you are leading people into a dangerous situation, it is essential not only to understand their strengths and motivations so you can guide them to success – but also to build the trust that makes them want to follow you into that danger. Genuine care fosters trust, and taking the time to know the team helps to understand their skills, drive, and needs is all critical to accomplishing the mission.

Genuine care creates that trust. Taking the time to know your team and understand their skills, drive, and needs, is essential to accomplishing any mission.

On , Imperial Clinical Research Services recognizes the volume of material that moves through the clinical research ecosystem. Sponsor offices manage planning documents and trial supplies. CRO centers coordinate shipments and data workflows. Study sites handle daily consumables and participant materials. Labs process specimens and manage packaging from every delivery. Each location has its own waste stream, and each one can make steady progress through simple, consistent recycling habits.

Today is a good reminder to follow through on your organization’s recycling program. Small actions across these operational touchpoints add up to a cleaner planet when research professionals take part.

March is Women’s History Month, and we are highlighting Imperial leadership. Frances Bentley, Imperial associate director, reflects on the principles that have shaped her approach to leading teams.

The leaders who have influenced me most are the ones who bring out the best in the people around them. They taught me that a leader’s role is enabling teammates to bring their best self to the situation, that the only person you should compete with is the version of yourself from yesterday, and that feedback is a gift worth offering with care. They also taught me to listen to understand rather than to reply.

Clarity has guided me throughout my career. I start every decision by asking, “What does good look like?” If it’s a problem that needs solving, I define what a good solution would be before taking the first step. That discipline keeps me grounded and helps me make better choices.

Titles don’t make someone a leader, and sacrifice alone doesn’t either. I’ve seen managers focus only on their own success, and I’ve seen well‑intentioned people take on too much because they want the team to thrive. The leaders I remember are the ones who inspired their teammates to grow, stood beside them when needed, and created the conditions for the team to achieve its purpose—without trying to achieve it for them.

The only comparison that matters is who you were yesterday. Every challenge you face can either hold you back or help you grow. You get to choose which one it becomes.

We take sustainability seriously at Imperial as part of how we operate every day. This year, Imperial earned a Bronze rating from EcoVadis, placing us in the top 35 percent of companies assessed worldwide. The work behind that rating touches our environmental footprint, the way we support employees, and the standards we uphold for ethics and data protection.

EcoVadis recognized several areas where our practices are well established, including environmental governance, reductions in energy use and waste, and verified reporting of key metrics such as energy consumption and emissions. For a company with deep roots in print and production, these operational details are important to us, and they reflect the systems our teams have built to manage resources responsibly.

The assessment also highlighted the strength of our employee‑focused practices, from flexible work options and family‑friendly programs to skills development, safety reporting, and structured performance and grievance processes. Our ethics and information‑security measures were similarly noted, including anti‑corruption training and controls to protect third‑party data.

We’re proud of the progress reflected in this year’s rating and grateful for the teams whose work made it possible. It’s a clear signal of the standards we hold ourselves to and the way we approach our responsibilities across the organization.
