Register below to receive Zoom link
Description
Right now, and over the course of your career, there are and will be many leadership roles and opportunities. There are a growing number of resources to support leadership development and training, but many scientists have not had training in leadership (e.g. in team, clinical, or academic leadership).
This year’s ITHS Team Science Seminar Series has focused on providing resources to help translational researchers develop their collaborative leadership potential. In our final session of the 2024-2025 series, we will focus on an important aspect of leadership—figuring out when and how to say “yes” vs. “no” when new opportunities arise.

- Practice strategies for saying “no” to opportunities that are not a good fit with your goals.
- Formulate plans to be ready for anticipated & unanticipated growth & change.
