Leadership Skills for Scientists Workshop BACKGROUND

INTRODUCING YOUR FACILITATORS

Scientists often climb the leadership ladder through their scientific achievements and technical abilities, but few are prepared with the leadership skills necessary to develop and manage a best practice scientific team. In order to maximise performance in the laboratory and other settings, principal scientists must employ a number of skills including strong communication, emotional intelligence and authenticity. Continuous funding cuts often cause tension and disengagement in the workplace. As a leader, it is imperative to motivate and engage your team in challenging circumstances, whilst addressing conflict simultaneously. In order to achieve an inspired and ambitious team, scientific leaders must create a work environment conducive to innovation and creativity. Through various communication avenues and tactical relationship building, scientists can drive productivity and positive change whilst creating a strong supportive network for their team. In this workshop, delegates will explore the leadership skills demanded of scientific professionals to increase team performance and fast-track research outcomes, in a real-time decision-making environment.

TRAINING DELIVERY AND PRE-COURSE QUESTIONNAIRE This workshop will be delivered using a three tiered approach. The structure of each session is as follows:

DAY 1 Peter Dhu Director Corporate Communication Experts A Medical Scientist by profession, Peter has studied extensively in the area of business and leadership, culminating in his Masters of Business and Administration and Diploma in Professional Coaching. Peter is an experienced speaker, trainer and coach in the area of presentation skills, public speaking and courage. He trains leaders and managers to speak confidently and effectively, with influence, when they present. For 20 years Peter has helped thousands of people overcome their fear of public speaking and find their voices so that they can share their passions, messages and ideas with the people who need to hear them. Before starting his own consulting business in 2009 he worked for the Health Department for 30 years managing various laboratories. He represented the Department on many State and National committees and working parties. High level business and corporate communication skills, including writing speeches for the Minister, negotiations and networking were essential in Peter’s success in these roles. Peter has extensive experience in the area of corporate communication, presentation skills and personal effectiveness.

1. Technical overview and review of research into the topic area under discussion 2. Practical application of management principles in the review of case studies, worked examples and interactive exercises 3. Discussion of outcomes and implementation issues Workshop participants will have the opportunity to include comments and questions about issues outlined in the program by way of a pre-course questionnaire. This feedback will enable the course facilitator to adjust content accordingly. The workshop has limited places to allow for customisation, greater interactivity and for individual concerns to be addressed.
