Webinar: Managing Scientists & Engineers
May 23 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Webinar Description: Managing technical staff requires competencies in technical and non-technical skills. Although a manager may have become a technical expert in a specialized area, they often have no formal training in management having attained the position by virtue of technical accomplishments. As a result, some managers excel in leading technical aspects of work (products, projects, processes…), but are less successful with people leadership. This webinar will provide managers with solutions for common scenarios in the workplace.
Attendee Benefits:
• Examining common managerial blind spots
• Understanding expectations of employees
• Bridging gaps from being an employee to becoming a manager
• Balancing technical and non-technical issues
• Other topics
