Postdoc Academy Workshop: Team Dynamics in Action New
Because research is a collaborative endeavour, conducted within and across groups, team dynamics can have a big impact on your research output.
In order to achieve your own goals, it can be helpful to understand what factors contribute to the behaviour of a group of colleagues, how you can best navigate these dynamics, and which elements of team dynamics are key to successfully leading a research group. This is your chance to learn and practice!
In this highly interactive workshop, you will experience different aspects of team dynamics through a series of situation-based activities. Each activity will be followed by reflection and discussion so that you can make connections with your own professional experience.
This workshop will give you the opportunity to:
- understand the diversity of perspectives and why groups behave they way they do
- identify points of convergence and divergence between your own and others’ interest
- be a better team player
- become a better team leader
We recommend also attending our workshop on group dynamics and effective teams as this session will provide a great opportunity to practice what you have learned there.
