Lecture | Boost Your Leadership Skills
12-1:30 p.m.
online (zoom)
Having arrived on the postdoc-level, most people have usually seen quite a variety of leadership behavior in others over the years. Some role-modeling, some not so much. However, value-based individuals having invested so much time and effort into their educational career in most cases strive for developing a modern, humanistic and at the same time-efficient style for taking over responsibilities in their careers. There are fascinating findings that make it easier and more fruitful to go that way!
