*Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's *

*Workshop on Leadership in Bioscience*

*February 22-25, 2013*

*Cold Spring Harbor, New York*

http://meetings.cshl.edu/courses/2013/c-leader13.shtml**

*Application Deadline*: January 11, 2013
*Selection Decisions*: January 22, 2013

*Target audience*

The workshop is targeted to life scientists making, or recently having 
made, the transition to leadership or managerial positions. Many of the 
situations discussed will be from the perspective of an independent 
investigator running his or her own laboratory. As such, *relatively new 
investigators (e.g., < 3 years) are particularly encouraged to apply, as 
are senior postdoctoral scholars on the cusp of tenure-track research 
positions*.

*Description*

This is a highly interactive 3.5 day workshop in which you will develop 
the skills necessary to lead and interact effectively with others, in 
both one-on-one and group settings. The workshop will focus on 
techniques, situations, and challenges that relate specifically to 
leading and managing in the scientific workplace.

It will emphasize learning by doing and will involve role playing, 
giving and receiving feedback, and group problem solving. Much of the 
learning will be peer-to-peer. Participants will be expected to discuss 
their own experiences and listen to others as they discuss theirs.

*Key focus areas*

·*Recognizing and understanding leadership in a science setting*

·*Using negotiation as a tool in scientific discussions and problem solving*

·*Identifying and resolving conflicts in the lab*

·*Dealing with difficult people and situations*

·*Communicating your ideas and plans in a way that engages others*

·*Leading effective and productive meetings*

·*Becoming effective citizen scientists*

*Testimonials from previous students*
