Leading your group

This program is about experiencing and understanding leadership as a success factor in science. Participants will learn how to recruit, develop and lead your team successfully. In addition, they will examine the complexity of roles and responsibilities of a science leader and will develop strategies for building well-functioning teams. Participants will work on their personal strategy as well as their positioning and will develop concrete steps for implementation. Furthermore, participants will have space to discuss their challenges with peers, build your network and benefit from the wealth of experience within the whole group.

The Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ) by SHL will allow participants to gain insights into their personal leadership style and preferences. Furthermore, they will have the opportunity to discuss the results with their trainers in an individual coaching session.

Throughout the program, participants will jointly work on developing Leadership Insights: Questions and insights derived from your actual experiences as leaders, which might be of interest to and shared with other participants and alumni of the Helmholtz Leadership Academy.

During Camp 4 (“Camp on Demand”) all participants will have the opportunity to delve deeper into some of the topics discussed during Camps 1 to 3 as well as to work on their Leadership Insights. Topics and formats will be decided jointly.
