Our Leadership Toolkit
Leadership pressure is real: stalled projects, misaligned priorities, meetings that drain more than they deliver. You weren’t trained for this kind of overload, but you can lead through it.
The Leadership Toolkit gives you research-backed tools and templates to:
Align teams across labs, departments, and divisions.
Protect your time and energy from endless rework.
Strengthen collaboration on proposals, projects, and product launches.
Lead without burning out.
Get the Insights That Work for Your Team
I’m Dr. Maritza Salazar Campo, professor of management and team science at UC Irvine. My work focuses on how organizations overcome misalignment, stalled collaboration, and strategic drift — the hidden costs that slow capable leadership and project teams.
My curriculum, recognized by the National Academies of Sciences and the National Science Foundation, has equipped leaders at Stanford, PwC, the U.S. Army, and UCI Health to move from overload to measurable progress. The results are consistent:
70% improvement in individual teamwork skills.
30% increase in overall team effectiveness.
If your team is capable but misaligned, perhaps well-intentioned, but exhausted — I can help you:
Reset the rhythm of your meetings and decision-making.
Realign your talent around clear organizational or scientific priorities.
Restore momentum so your work is not only productive, but purposeful.
Your Leadership Resources
These aren’t generic leadership tips — they’re research-backed tools designed for scientists, clinicians, and Fortune 500 leaders who are tasked with leading major projects without sufficient clarity, authority, or support.
Inside you’ll find:
Reset & Rhythm Tools to steady chaotic meetings and protect your calendar.
Proposal & Funding Resources to help you secure grants, publish, and advance your career.
Strategy & Alignment Guides to align people and priorities across labs, departments, and global teams.
Practical Leadership Templates to streamline communication, reduce rework, and keep progress moving.
Each resource is designed to be put into practice immediately — in your next meeting, proposal draft, or cross-functional project. And if your team needs more than tools, I offer consulting and training to help you reset the rhythm, realign priorities, and restore momentum at scale.
