Leading with ease and confidence

Event content

Only for participants of the Dorothea Schlözer Program.

Successfully leading a team is an art that can be learned. Among other things, it requires leaders to be highly aware of their different roles as leaders and the
respective skills needed to fulfil these roles. Leaders also need to know what kind of leadership style is asked for in a certain situation and which leadership style they prefer over others. Since communication is at the heart of leadership, leaders also need to be clear and efficient communicators – especially in critical situations.

This two-day workshop is meant to equip young female scientists with tools that support them in leading with more ease and confidence. Participants will reflect on their personal vision of leadership, the role models that have coined their beliefs about leadership as well as the values that guide their leadership behaviour. Furthermore, the workshop will introduce the model of “situational leadership” and its implications for everyday leadership. Participants will also reflect on the influence of their own personality on preferences for certain leadership styles and identify areas of growth and development. Role plays and theoretical input will provide the opportunity for participants to enhance their communication skills with a focus on leading difficult conversations.
