“The real leaders in business, in the professional community, in education, in government, and in the home also seem to draw upon a special cutting edge that separates them from the rest of society. The winner’s edge is not in a gifted birth, in a high IQ, or in talent. The winner’s edge is in the attitude.”
Dr. Huizinga has led teams of highly qualified research leaders internationally and has taught them how to find the attitude that allows their team to perform at the highest level. He has lectured and led leadership classes internationally, and at the local level.
In practical terms, he successfully developed or helped in the development of a novel immunosuppressive medication (voclosporin) from bench to bedside, with submission of NDA to the FDA in less than 6 months from Phase 3 database lock.
