This course engages Associate and Full
Professors at the University of St.Gallen in a dialogue on leadership in
scientific practice. The full-day workshop includes inputs on the state of the
art in organizational psychology and provides ample space for an intense
exchange of experience among participants. Being responsible for and guiding
scientists is triggering quite a variety of capabilities and competences, both
on a strategical as well as on operational level. We focus on three core
leadership activities specifically relevant in science: consulting, coaching,
and challenging. With this focus, the course will provide an overview of a
series of methodologies and tools. The full-day course will be complemented by a
half-day follow-up session (about three months after the one-day course) which will
provide opportunities to reflect on experiences made when applying learnings
from the seminar.
