‘“But I am a scientist, not a leader!”: Why Leadership Matters in Academia’
‘“But I am a scientist, not a leader!”: Why Leadership Matters in Academia’
When: Thursday September 14th 2017, 14:00-17:00
Where: Grotius building room 1.176
Who: everyone (!) who is interested in the topic
What is leadership? Why does leadership matter in academia? When and why is it ‘good’ or ‘bad’? Is leadership a natural talent or can leaders be created? How do leadership styles differ between people and contexts? Do gender differences and roles affect leadership? And which stand does Radboud University take regarding leadership?
To get an answer on these questions, Radboud University’s Female Full Professors Network and the Halkes Women Faculty Network organise a joint symposium on Leadership in Academia. The symposium aims to bring together (wo)men of all academic levels, from PhD students to full professors, in order to participate in a critical discussion and share their ideas and experiences on leadership in academia.
