Abstract: Abstract Leadership in the life science industry differs from leadership in other industries. We propose a ludic leadership framework that can benefit this industry’s process complexities, social responsibilities and academic work culture. We do this on three levels: (1) Using game-like techniques as tools for situational interventions by a leadership figure, (2) using game thinking as a method to design the workplace culture and (3) using games as the means of leadership training itself. The life science industry may profit from a leadership model derived from game-inspired mechanics due to the pressure for an innovative culture, high employee demands on the workplace environment, ever faster employee transitions, changes to agile working styles, and as a counterbalance to high regulation and SOP thinking.
