Target Group:

(Current and future) group leaders, postdoctoral researchers, junior professors, and early-career researchers with supervision duties in CIBSS labs.

Series Overview:

Leading a team is usually a completely new challenge for many academics. Going from a student role to a teacher or manager role can be a very stark transition that requires extra skills and training. The Supervisors Webinar Series, led by trainer Desiree Dickerson, aims to help academics bridge this gap by providing insights and strategies on navigating the diverse roles of a supervisor, supporting student mental health, fostering effective communication and provide efficient feedback, managing conflicts in a team, and enhancing motivation and productivity.

Session description: Managing conflict in a team

Conflict is natural part of working with other people. Managing conflict well is a fundamental part of good leadership practice and essential for the mental health and well-being of all research group members. In this webinar we will explore how to better manage conflict in our day-to-daywork by looking into the most common types of conflict, the early warning signs, our beliefs about conflict as well as some tools for navigating conflict and creating a safe environment that can help us avoid the its most harmful sides.
