Aim and content This is a generic course. This means that the course is reserved for PhD students at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at the Graduate School, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. After the enrolment deadline, available seats will be allocated to the waiting list. The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at NorDoc member faculties. All other participants must pay the course fee. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. approach top-down, bottom-up, and lateral leadership tasks in a methodological manner 2. make use of established leadership techniques in & outside academia Content When PhDs make the transition into the labour market they are often expected to take on leadership responsibilities. Not only careers outside the higher education sector but also such in academia involve leadership roles – e.g. in the supervision of students or junior colleagues or the ‘lateral guidance’ of colleagues. A better understanding of leadership mechanisms is also useful in situations where one is being led, for example as a PhD student by a supervisor. ‘Bottom up’ leadership techniques can contribute to the success of cooperation in this context. With sound knowledge of leadership, team dynamics can be optimized and situations of conflict better managed. New recruits can therefore grow with their leadership role and constructively work with their colleagues. In this workshop participants will be introduced to the most important leadership styles and techniques and will acquire knowledge of the methodical approach to leadership tasks. The following topics will be covered: - Basics of teamwork & leadership: An overview of leadership tasks and styles - My leadership profile: Stocktaking of my key skills - Ambiguous hierarchies: What does leadership mean in academia? - Manager-employee discussions as a leadership tool: Setting common objectives - Role change: Staff member – colleague – boss - Teamwork & leadership: My next steps Participants PhD students Relevance to graduate programmes The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: - All graduate programmes Language English Form Lectures, group work, discussions, exercises Teachers Dr. Simon Golin, Golin Wissenschaftsmanagement, Berlin, Germany.
