Leading a Successful Team

Leading a successful team:
For most researchers, career development and advancement is likely to involve greater or lesser degrees of leadership or management responsibility. Some of us actively seek these roles.

Other researchers don't explicitly seek leadership or management, these responsibilities appear "as part of the package" as we become more experienced and grow into roles where mentorship and leading others is a natural part of progression.

Anyone aspiring to leadership inside or outside a research environment should reflect on the roles of leader and manager that are beyond the day to day requirements of "getting the job done" and develop the necessary skills in leadership and management.

During this half day workshop we will consider what leaders and managers do and the skills and qualities they need to develop to succeed beyond their job-specific skills. Participants will raise their self-awareness whilst exploring the skills and development opportunities needed to support them in preparing for future roles.

During the workshop we will explore:

  • Skills & behaviours of effective teams, managers, leaders
  • Your own skills, values & qualities
  • Different leadership styles
  • What helps or hinders motivation
  • How you'll apply your insights to your current role.
