Science training rarely includes the skills needed to effectively manage an academic lab or nonacademic work group. Talented managers get more done in any work place, and not all science trainees have a good role model for this skill. Just like doing research, effective management is something you can learn and at which you can excel. This talk is designed to give you an introduction to the skills you can develop to be a good manager.  Useful resources and tools provided for future training.
