Leadership Development

Thursday December 05th, 2019 - Friday December 06th, 2019

Learning Goals:

• Acquire a leadership framework 
• Challenge assumptions about what it means to be a leader
• Develop a personal leadership style
• Learn how to influence others (without authority)

Training Method:

This workshop is designed to be relevant to the broad spectrum of leadership situations. There are many implicitly held beliefs about what makes a good leader. A basic premise of this workshop is that, beyond common preconceptions, a broad array of skills is needed to lead effectively. This workshop will enable participants to identify their strengths and to understand the different manifestations of leadership.

Early career professionals, in both industry and academia, are often in a “sandwich position,” which necessarily means that they must be able to lead and manage effectively in all directions (upward, downward, and lateral). They lead their subordinates and team members, but they also need to successfully influence their colleagues and their supervisors. In order to effectively exercise their influence on others, individuals must also develop their ability to lead themselves. To help participants successfully prepare for these challenges and identify their own style, scientifically established leadership approaches with be presented and discussed.

The theoretical and practical information will be evidence based – both from my own research and the greater academic field. Exercises will focus on the transfer of the training topics and be relevant to both corporate as well as academic contexts. A gender perspective will be integrated throughout the training, with a particular focus on the challenges women face in leadership roles.´
