About the Event

A recent study reported that most people who take leadership roles in academia do so because of two motivations: to prevent someone else from taking the role or because they were pressured into doing so. Whereas leadership roles in academia present significant challenges they can also be very rewarding and an important learning experience. In this workshop we will explore how to prepare for a leadership role, how to navigate the challenges and opportunities including the importance of support networks, creating and managing power relationships (managing up and down) and how to safeguard your own career trajectory and emotional well-being.
