The transition from project delivery to people leadership can be one of the most exciting but challenging phases in your career.
This two-day course is for people new to or preparing for line management roles in KT. Participants examine what makes an effective KT leader, in the often peculiar situations of KT in research organisations. It equips them with the mindset, tools, and strategies to lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.
The course addresses how to create high-performing teams; how to set objectives, grow your unit and how to manage underperformance all in the very particular context of KT.
Finally, the course supports personal career development, helping managers identify growth areas and prepare for future leadership roles.
The course uses case studies specific to KT environments and draws on the real-world experience of three KT leaders, Dr Jeff Skinner, Sean Fielding and Dr Helena Montiel. All have run successful KT offices and have chaired their national KT Associations and therefore understand the issues likely to be confronted by new KT managers.
