Workshop Description:

Scientific teams are particularly diverse. Teams made up of highly intelligent, independent and innovative men and women from different cultural backgrounds need special handling. Developing people who are already very capable and forging strong willed people into a team is especially difficult and requires specialised techniques.

In such an environment a flexible, highly targeted and subtle approach is essential. This workshop will teach the skills necessary to manage not just team members but the group as a whole. This will ensure that participants have the skills to make full use of all the available talents and so achieve the appropriate success.

This flexible workshop will cover: 1. Motivating individuals and groups 2. Giving feedback that results in change 3. Building a strong cohesive team 4. How to continuously improve your methods 5. Ways to measure performance of teams, individuals and yourself 6. Managing in a diverse team 7. Using authority and conflict resolution 8. 360 degree management / Upward management

Participants will learn leadership and team management skills which will enable them to be proactive and flexible when managing the intelligent and diverse groups they will lead in academia or industry.
