Abstract

Leading through change requires a blend of strategic planning, effective communication, and emotional intelligence. The presenters will share strategies, experiences, and practices for leadership as one develops/restarts/restructures or grows a research enterprise. The strategies to be employed must be carefully curated to ensure the approach fits the people, environment, culture, and strategic direction of the organization. This interactive discussion will highlight effective communication transparency, feedback mechanisms, engagement and inclusion of stakeholders, empowering teams, and being flexible and agile. Resilient research managers are thriving leaders in times of change and uncertainty. Participants will learn frameworks and strategies for leading with trust to achieve results.
