12. Management Skills for Scientists: Our Most Popular Four-Part Workshop Sequence

Note: All of our workshops are sponsored by client organizations for their employees, staff or affiliates. At this time we do not offer “open enrollment” workshops. Please contact us for details.

Available for on site delivery and online via Zoom

We offer the following four-part workshop package that combines our four most popular workshops into an integrated "crash course" in management skills for scientists. See Workshop 12A if you are interested in a workshop series specifically focused on scientists in industry, biotech or pharmaceutical settings.

This sequence is ideal for organizations seeking to bring their scientists "up to speed" in the core skills associated with successful interactions, collaborations and team membership and management. The workshop days can be done in succession or separated by weeks or months. 

Session 1: Difficult Conversations in the Research Workplace: Fundamentals of Negotiation ( Workshop 1). 

Session 2: Leading Scientific Team and Project Meetings (Workshop 2).

Session 3: Hiring and Retaining Your Science Team (Workshop 3).

Session 4: Managing Your Science Team: Setting Goals, Giving Feedback and Evaluating Scientists (Workshop 4).

This workshop sequence provides a comprehensive introduction to the essential tools needed to manage a research lab or a scientific project team. The workshops can be customized to reflect a basic research (or academic) environment, or an applied (or pharma, biotech, private sector) environment.   This four part series can be offered on consecutive days or with a gap of days or weeks in between.
