Description
As a researcher you may find yourself in a sandwich position, a situation marked by conflicting demands from your superiors, on the one side, and from colleagues and students, from the other. You are required to contribute to and lead research projects, and to delegate effectively, yet at the same time to support the development of your colleagues and students. In your work with students, for example, you might find it challenging not to answer all questions and to solve the problems yourself, rather than inspiring and empowering those who come to you for advice and guidance, giving them responsibility, and holding them accountable.
Coaching offers a proven way of communication and an effective form of co-creating solutions. In this workshop future academic leaders and research managers will get into the coaching mindset, learn about and use practical coaching tools. You will leave the workshop ready to have coaching conversations with colleagues and employees.
No practical leadership experience is required for this workshop.
