Welcome, Introduction, Warming up

Give you time "to arrive" at the workshop and introduce the topics for the course. Open the "Parking Lot" for your questions and issues.

What is leadership?

You understand the difference between management and leadership and begin to identify how you can improve your leadership skills.

The leadership role

How you fill out your job comprises three factors: your job description, your expectations and those placed on you, and your personality. You learn about different aspects of your job (called roles, e.g. "the Controller", "The Negotiator", "the Friend", "Visionary) and how they impact your performance.

The impact of working environment

How can it be of use to look at your team and environment from a systems perspective and derive ideas to influence your system's behaviour?

Emotional Intelligence

Understanding the principle of Emotional Intelligence can help you to identify and manage your emotions and behaviour, and to adapt yourself to work better with other people.

The impact of personality on leadership - Part 1

Understanding our own personality and those of others can help us to work more effectively and smoothly with one another.

Give you time "to arrive" for the day and ask questions about the previous day's work.

The impact of personality on leadership - Part 2

Your personality colours how you perceive the world and how you accordingly act, both under normal and stress conditions. Understanding this gives you clues about natural strengths and potential derailers for your leadership.

Giving feedback and criticism

You learn how to give appropriate feedback in the lab and how to formulate criticism without hurting somebody
