Facilitated by Dr Nicole Horst, Researcher Development Manager at the Postdoc Academy and Core Team member of the Leaders and Managers Community of Practice

This session is open to everyone at the CSCI and Clinical Neurosciences - all job role levels and responsibilities are invited to attend!

Session highlights:

  • What does leadership mean to you?
  • What do people look for in their leaders?
  • How can we develop and strengthen these skills?

This interactive session will explore the everyday leadership behaviours that shape team culture, influence others and strengthen trust.

Through guided reflection, group discussion, and research‑based insights, participants will examine what leadership means to them, identify the qualities people value most in those they follow and consider how small, intentional actions can make a meaningful difference.
