How to celebrate your team and yourself: Community talk on appreciative research cultures
Target group: All researchers with a PhD who have leadership experience or are on the cusp of leadership.
How can we foster a spirit of trial and error? What practices allow research team members to be curious and motivated to try new things? How can we as leaders celebrate our groups' wins and help handle setbacks? And how do we celebrate our own milestones? What leadership styles are helpful and how can we improve in our daily practice?
This 1,5h community talk consists of:
- 1) Intro by Johanna Stadlbauer: Why should we celebrate successes and failure?
- 2) Short talk by Johann Hlina: What are practices for a great team culture that work in a chemistry research group
- 3) Table conversation: Practice sharing
