Comment/Description

Trainer: The workshop is given by Dr. Simon Golin, [Golin Wissenschaftsmanagement, Berlin][1].

Workshop description:

When PhDs make the transition into the labour market they are often expected to take on leadership responsibilities. Not only careers outside the higher education sector but also such in academia involve leadership roles - e.g. in the supervision of students or junior colleagues or the "lateral guidance" of colleagues. A better understanding of leadership mechanisms is also useful in situations where one is being led, for example as a PhD candidate by a supervisor. "Bottom up" leadership techniques can contribute to the success of cooperation in this context.

With sound knowledge of leadership, team dynamics can be optimized and situations of conflict better managed. New recruits can therefore grow with their leadership role and constructively work with their colleagues.

In this workshop participants will be introduced to the most important leadership styles and techniques and will acquire knowledge of the methodical approach to leadership tasks. The following topics will be covered:


* Basics of team work & leadership: An overview of leadership tasks and styles
* My leadership profile: Stocktaking of my key skills
* Ambiguous hierarchies: What does leadership mean in academia?
* Manager-employee discussions as a leadership tool: Setting common objectives
* Role change: Staff member - colleague - boss
* Keeping the peace: Conflict management and strategies for negotiation in the work place
* Being new in a position: My first 100 days as boss
* Team work & leadership competencies: My next steps

Testimonials by former participants:
* This workshop gives you a good overview of the most important skills you need to take the first steps of being a leader.
* Nice workshop - not only useful in career but also life.
* It was good to get aware of some common patterns on behaviours in our own way and roles in a team and as a leader.
* Very good workshop. Gave insights to my own personality. Very engaging.
