Prepared for leadership: Self- and stakeholder management
2-day workshop with Dr. Christiane Kasack
In the post-doc phase, much of your work is project work and you are assuming an increasingly leading role in your projects. This workshop prepares you for leadership positions by improving how you lead yourself and your projects. Work in the seminar will help you to organize yourself better, by reflecting your work style based on resilience and by suggesting tools for self-management. We address planning work, priorities, and how to include self-care in your work habits. We focus on dealing with people and groups of people who are affected by your work or have an interest in influencing its process and results.
After the workshop, you will have reflected on the process of your work. You will have learned how to write more useful to-do lists and how to set priorities better. You will ahve defined the stakeholders in your most important project and the next steps on how you want to act in your position.

Leading your own team (two days)
A workshop with Dr. Christiane Kasack (08.06.2023 & 15.06.2023)
The main objective of this workshop series is to prepare advanced postdocs to take on their first leadership position by building and leading their own research team.
