Intermediate Leadership (in English)

For UZH female and INTA (inter, non-binary, trans and agender) postdocs

The positions of junior research group leaders and experienced postdocs are often described as a challenging “sandwich position”. On the one hand, in these positions, you lead single researchers or an entire scientific team, on the other hand you are dependent on the heads of departments etc. This requires competencies in leading a team as well as in lateral leadership. As a basic model, the approach of transformational leadership will be introduced.

• Reflection previous leadership experience – Awareness of own’s leadership style
• Tasks as Supervisor and PI
• Model of team leadership, fundamentals of transformational leadership
• Expectation management in a “sandwich position”
• Motivation and delegation in a scientific working environment
• Master difficult discussions/feedback with team members and on lateral level solution-orientated

One aim of the seminar is to introduce you to the tools needed to lead a team successfully. Further, you will reflect on the different expectations others have of you in your specific leadership role, and get to know instruments for clarifying such expectations in discussions. In this compact course, you will learn how to address difficult topics with team members and colleagues and how to lead discussions in a solution-oriented manner. This workshop provides you with tools to motivate and lead your team, and to advance your own ideas and interests within a lateral context.

UZH female and INTA (inter, non-binary, trans and agender) postdocs holding a PhD - all disciplines or faculties welcome.

This course follows a process-oriented approach and will continually address the participants’ individual questions in single work and group discussions, exercises and reflection units. Interactive and inclusive methods will be used so that participants can optimally apply the skills learnt to their daily work at the university. Theoretical segments will be recapitulated in the form of short summaries and checklists for the participants to increase the depth of learning.
