Running a research team is exciting… and a lot.

  • You’ve inherited team members who don’t meet your standards.
     
  • “People problems” hijack your focus more than experiments or writing.
     
  • You find yourself cheerleading productivity instead of doing science.
     
  • A few folks aren’t pulling their weight, but addressing it feels risky.
     
  • The lab’s success seems to rest on your shoulders—and it’s exhausting.
     

You’re not alone. Most research leaders were never taught how to lead. This session gives you practical tools you can use immediately.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

  • Hire right: Spot red flags and select for behaviors that strengthen your culture.

     

  • Prevent conflict early: Simple scripts and structures that stop fires before they start.
     
  • Raise standards (without backlash): Set expectations that motivate rather than resent.
     
  • Build independence: Turn check-ins into ownership so you can stop micromanaging.
     
  • Protect your energy: Boundaries and systems that give you back time for high-value science.

     

Lead at a higher level—without becoming the lab’s emergency generator.
