Leading a Team, 21 February 2024 (online)
21 February 2024, 2:00 pm–3:30 pm
Becoming a supervisor is a challenging move from the research-focused routine to a people focused leadership role. You are a leader now. And the success of your team depends partly on how you choose to lead, on the tone you set, on how you model collaboration and collegiality with others, on how you narrate failure and how you lift others up when they stumble, as well as on how you navigate conflict and seek to understand the position and path of those you are working with.

In this webinar, we explore:
- how we lead and motivate our people – exploring the factors that foster motivation in individuals;
- how to bring individuals together – and how to instill sound team dynamics that utilize and grow the technical and interpersonal skills that we need and want in our groups.
- how to uplift ALL team members including those with backgrounds and experiences that do not mirror our own and learn to recognize when we are acting / speaking / or filtering information from a place that does not take these differences into account.
