The word \u201cleader\u201d goes together with \u201cpeople\u201d. Leaders are expected to improve human performance and manage resources. Yet many professionals focus only on technical or scientific qualifications \u2013 not on complex social interactions. These professionals quickly learn that poor leadership and communication skills can undermine credibility and overall effectiveness. Whether in academia or industry, leaders are likely to manage \u2018knowledge workers\u2019 (smart, creative, highly professional people) \u2013 who expect to be treated with respect and given opportunities to develop their potential. For these roles, working collaboratively with others, understanding their motivations, making sound decisions and influencing a group towards win-win goals will be valuable skills. You will take steps to learn how to identify your own leadership type, clarify leadership ideals and behaviours, script successful meetings and discussions, listen to get complete information, empower your people, give constructive feedback and manage conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are happy to announce our next GAUSS Career Service workshop <strong>\u201cLeadership Skills for Postdocs\u201d<\/strong> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-goettingen.de\/en\/585922.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr Sabine Lerch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Advancing as a scientist, both out- as well as inside academia, comes with increased leadership responsibilities.
