Description

In this workshop you will learn about important aspects of an inspiring approach to leadership which engages you and your team members and which addresses, at the same time, current management issues.
We will focus on communication skills that are essential for young leaders since they work with supervisors, employees, clients, colleagues or stakeholders, to name just a few. In this context their conversational and negotiating skills are quite vital to be able to communicate on the same level and to lead conversations into the right direction.

This workshop is designed for careers inside academia.
