What are the benefits of better self management?
Modern research science by its very nature is intensely collaborative and demands strong co-operation between individuals and groups. Therefore, having excellent interpersonal and management skills is now essential to ensure success. Today’s reality is that being able to work collaboratively is just as essential as knowing research methods and techniques.
In the “Self-management for Junior Scientists” workshop, attendees will learn how to:-
- establish highly productive, co-operative relationships
- identify negative hidden agendas and other common causes of workplace conflict
- recognize the warning signals and resolve difficult situations before they escalate
- voice challenging opinions without triggering hostility/negativity
- deal better with authority and react to personal criticism and negative feedback
- use self motivating strategies to be more engaged
Outcomes
By creating a happier, more productive work environment your junior faculty will be able to focus fully on their research, enjoy optimum performance and remain highly motivated. Good self-management eliminates the miscommunication and misunderstanding that causes needless conflicts, wasted time and wasted money. With a reduced need for management input from senior researchers, the whole team will be able to focus on what really matters.
Develop a highly motivated team that needs less supervision.
Create fully co-operative interactive groups.
Increase lab productivity.
