About the Event

If you are ready to develop your skills as a leader of a team or research group, then this course is for you. Your training and experience so far have given you excellent technical and research skills, including careful observation, data collection, hypothesis development, planning, experimentation, and critical thinking.
This 3-day course will build on those skills and teach you how to use those ‘research tools’ to work effectively with your people. The course will also enhance your leadership with practical tools from psychology, social science, human behavioural science, and the business world. You will learn how to lead with empathy to empower your people to get innovative, reproducible research done.

Trainers

EMBO Lab Leadership trainers come from many different backgrounds, and all have been working directly and extensively with leaders in the life sciences for many years. The training team includes scientists, organisational development experts, human resources professionals, MBA graduates, mathematicians, professional coaches, scientists from industry, and others with significant and relevant experience to supporting leaders in the life sciences to improve their leadership and develop their teams and strategies.

Two trainers deliver the workshops and work to balance their expertise and diversity to ensure that you receive the widest range of expertise, experience and insight possible from your training team.

 
 

Programme

The course is a conversation between you, the other participants, and the trainers, to explore and cultivate your leadership skills. The course relies on your critical thinking, intelligence, and personal experience to work with the tools and models offered to develop your own leadership approach. To facilitate the spirit of discussion and exploration, the trainers deliver the content with contributions from participants captured directly and integrated into the course. The course involves learning about models and tools from psychology, human behavioural science, and business, and a lot of small group work to explore ideas and practice with each other. The emphasis on discussion and interaction also makes the course a great opportunity to network with peers and share the joys and frustrations of being a leader in research.

Additional details about these and other workshops are also available on the EMBO Lab Leadership website.
