BiteSize Self Leadership for Postdocs/Research Staff: How to Become a Strategic Thinker and Player New
Description
Are you so embedded in your day-to-day research that you don’t have time to think about developing yourself and your career? Are you willing to set aside a few hours of your time to learn about what you could be doing now to help your future success?
Self-Leadership can be defined as a ‘learned ability to get the best out of yourself and the people around you’. This series of short ‘how to’ seminars have been designed to provide you with practical tools, techniques and strategies to ‘do’ Self-Leadership in your everyday work and to demonstrate to others that you are ‘doing’ Self-Leadership to help your future success.
Target audience
Research staff
- Open to any member of research staff who can demonstrate that their primary responsibility is to conduct research and that they are employed for this purpose.
- It does not matter whether the University or some other body is formally their employer, e.g. a University Partner Institute or a College.
About the presenter
- Dr Sharon Saunders' research interests centre on how knowledge about leadership is produced in order to inform leadership development interventions
- Her own career story spans two continents and tells of both academic and professional roles in a wide range of organisations and settings meaning she has a wide range of perspectives and experience to draw upon
Notes
- Attending participants will also be given the option of joining up to a trial social media forum which will continue the conversations which are started throughout the seminar series
- All seminars have been designed around the fact that the career trajectories of Cambridge researchers are numerous and diverse and those who achieve success have allocated time and energy to building their own self-leadership capabilities
Duration
One session of two hours
