The art of leadership – fewer conflicts, more results
About
EMBO appreciates the importance of management skills for a successful career in science today and has, in partnership with consulting teams, designed this course specifically for the needs of independent group leaders.
The number of participants per course is limited to 16.
The four-day EMBO Laboratory Management Course for Independent Group Leaders covers topics such as: staff selection, leadership and team development, communication and deals with conflict and effective problem solving. Practical exercises, in the form of role-play and discussion groups, provide hands-on experience.
"Before becoming an independent scientist, you just had to focus on science. Now you need to be able to deal with a much broader range of challenges, without any preparation. This course introduces you to key – yet simple – leadership concepts. It also gives you the chance to identify the different roles that you have to take, see where your strengths and resources lie, and identify strategies for coping with roles in which you are uncomfortable.
Emotional Intelligence is the main predictor of success in positions of leadership. You will learn to use some models and instruments that will help you to understand yourself and others better, to manage yourself better and communicate effectively with them. In particular, you will practice tools that help you to give feedback and criticism, help your group members to learn how to solve many of their problems themselves, run meetings effectively, and delegate tasks effectively.
You will also learn how to understand the dynamics between your lab members and how you can improve the lab's performance. Conflicts are a part of everyday lab life. We will show you how you can recognize and manage them, before they develop into an unmanageable crisis, and deal with any conflicts you may already have.
Special emphasis is placed on how to prepare for and conduct effective interviews, so that you attract the right staff and students you need for your research."
