OVERVIEW
This module strives to take current business leadership research and best practice and apply it to science research. The aim is to broaden participants’ understanding of science research as an enterprise that can learn from business models, leadership research and perspectives.
The module comprises of three full-day interactive workshops where participants work with a series of business and science experts to explain their conceptions of science research enterprise and further their own personal leadership development. The workshop will help participants identify areas where they need guidance and growth, as well as how to capitalize on areas of strength. Via interactive exercises, role playing, giving and receiving feedback, and group problem-solving, participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences and challenges with others and to engage in peer-to-peer learning.
