Available for on site delivery

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 management.  This workshop is typically offered only on two successive days, on site at the host institution.

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.
