About Leadership in Action
Resilient Leadership in Action is a nine-morning intensive experiential leadership programme designed to provide you with an opportunity to develop your leadership skills. It prepares early career researchers for leadership in their chosen research field and equips them with the skills to show leadership within the wider community.
This Leadership in Action 2024 programme will include early career researchers from the University of Bath, Cambridge University, University College London, Imperial College London, University of Nottingham, Queen Mary University of London, Kings College London.
What the programme involves
- Practical, experiential learning, with minimal theoretical input
- an opportunity for all participants to lead a group project
- working with researchers from different disciplines and Universities
- support and feedback on your leadership style from expert coaches
You are not required to have previous or current leadership experience to apply. What you do need is a commitment to learn about yourself, to reflect on and improve on your leadership and to help others do the same.
Eligibility
Anyone who is a postdoc, research fellow or early career researcher can apply to join the programme. You can be at any stage of your career and you do not necessarily need to have leadership experience in a formal role. You need to have an interest in your own development as a leader.
Dates
You will need to be available on the following dates. All sessions run between 09:30am and 12:00pm and the sessions will take place on Zoom. Attendance at all 9 sessions is mandatory as it will have an adverse effect on the programme and the other participants who you will be working with on the programme if you are not able to attend. As a postdoc, these days will count towards your allocation of 10 days of development activity per year as a member of research staff.
