MassBioEd Is Pleased to Re-Offer this Highly Successful Leadership Course

Dates & Times:

• Thursday, March 17, 2011; 9:00AM to 5:00PM

A recent biotech industry training-needs survey revealed that scientists and engineers with strictly technical backgrounds are often limited in their leadership skills and knowledge. Effective scientific work requires high levels of leadership competence in communications and collaboration. However, few scientists possess leadership and communications skills that match their technical expertise and knowledge.

The program features:

• Two sessions separated by 4 weeks to apply tools and gather 360 survey feedback
• 360 surveys for each participant to provide objective information about how key others perceive their communications effectiveness. Participants use our on-line survey tool, collecting 8 - 12 responses. Results are anonymous and confidential. Doing the survey is not required, but is highly recommended.
• Strong focus on participants applying seminar skills and tools between sessions
• Science/R&D applications of current best practice leadership strategies and tools
