Workshop Leadership Tools – Leadership and personality
8 May 2024, 13h - 17h
General context
As leader of others, do you play checkers or chess with your team members? One of the first tips given in leadership is to treat your employees like how you want to be treated yourself. A great tip to start, but limiting. Leaders have to mature from leading in their own preferred way, to leading in the way those on their team need to be lead. Growing from playing checkers, as if everyone is the same, to playing chess, where each piece has its unique strength and team contribution. In this workshop we will first cover the science of personality testing, and move from the common pitfalls to how to put it in practice.
- Understanding the science behind personality (tests)?
- What are the big 5 personality vectors, where are you and your colleagues?
- What leadership style fits what personality and how do you apply it?
VIB postdocs, staff scientists and young group leaders.
