Leadership and supervision in academia: multiple perspectives for greater effectiveness (September 4th-5th, 2024)
241_PD_FK01
Objectives:
What is leadership? What dynamics underpin relations within a team? How can one effectively supervise teams and individuals? This workshop helps participants develop their leadership and supervision skills.
Description:
Participants are taken through a series of steps to understand the essence of teamwork, to identify which leadership strategies might best suit the needs of the team and to hone their supervision skills. The techniques introduced in this workshop can be used in a variety of contexts ranging from leading a team on a day-to-day basis to enhancing the team’s long-term productivity. Particular emphasis is placed upon enabling prospective leaders to become aware of key dynamics within their teams and to adjust their leadership and supervision strategies accordingly. Within this context, extra care is given to highlight the role played by intercultural issues. The knowledge and tools acquired focus on enabling participants to better supervise individuals and teams for which they are responsible. On the first day, participants attend the workshop all together as a single group. On the second day, the participants join the trainer for a series of one-to-one sessions characterised by a dedicated tailor-made approach.
