EOIs: closing 14 March
Program commencing: 9 May
The natural progression in the career of a successful researcher is to become head of your own research lab or group and stop spending time at the bench. You are no longer a scientist; you are a leader of scientists.
Despite years devoted to study in their scientific discipline, researchers may have received little or no training in leadership and how to develop high performance research teams.
Description
Brought to you by Marlow Hampshire in collaboration with BioMelbourne Network, this program incorporates a powerful combination of practical exercises including pre-reading, self-diagnostic surveys, simulations, skills-practice, case studies, small & large group discussion. It is highly interactive and group size is kept small to enable participants to meet others and form new collaborations.
A strong action & development plan focus means that participants will take back to their workplace ideas and initiatives to immediately implement and share.
