Lecture series WKJ Network: Gender and diversity awareness for leaders and supervisors in science

Gender and diversity awareness for leaders and supervisors in science - How do we develop these competencies?

Scientists generally learn supervision and leadership skills offhand as their careers progress because their ongoing research and growing management demands leave little opportunity for reflection or intentional learning. On the other hand, each person has a unique work and life reality, leading to different perceptions and challenges. Suppose leaders and supervisors are aware that their experience differs from others. In that case, they can fully develop and utilize the potential of their staff and students with less conflict, more productivity, and better scientific output.

Leaders and supervisors offering support and creating an inclusive environment will also ensure talented co-workers remain in science.

This interactive talk will explore the possibilities of developing gender and diversity-sensitive leadership and supervision skills and raise awareness for potential pitfalls. The speaker will be Anne Warskulat, Jena.
