Event Details
| Event: | PDCD161721 - Aspiring to Research Leadership - Postdocs |
|---|---|
| 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 research leadership should reflect on the roles of leader and manager that are beyond the day to day requirements of “getting the research done” and develop the necessary skills in leadership and management. This workshop is aimed at researchers who are considering a future move into a leadership role which may involve more managerial responsibilities possibly including line management. | |
| During this one day workshop we will consider what leaders and managers do and the skills and qualities they need to develop to succeed beyond their research-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 today we will explore: • What good research leadership looks like • Skills and behaviours of effective leaders and managers • Roles of research leaders • Reflect on your own potential management qualities • Explore opportunities for our personal development. | |
