Leadership Development

Leadership in academia is like juggling. Operational and urgent matters constantly require attention, leaving little room to anticipate developments. We provide you with the space to view your role from a fresh perspective. Our programs are developed in collaboration with our clients. We take a demand-driven and practice-oriented approach.

Coaching

It can be highly beneficial to discuss your questions and dilemmas with someone who knows your world but is not part of it. A sympathetic ear, someone you can be truly honest and open with, but from whom you can also receive confronting feedback or concrete advice for your next steps. 

Process
management

Scientists and directors usually know very well what they would like to achieve. But how do you get where you want to go with a group of headstrong colleagues? Here we might be of help in several ways. For example, as a sparring partner to design a smart process, or as a facilitator of meetings in which you participate yourself.

Leadership in Academia

For a long time, leadership was not a serious topic in academia. Steering was seen as disturbing - of driven professionals. 

Times are changing! Universities are under enormous pressure. Collaboration and a shared direction is needed more then ever. Leadership is needed on every level in the organisation. We mean: exploring interests, setting priorities, motivating colleagues to contribute. Also: making sure everyone stays on board. It can be a hard transition from 'me' to 'we'.

Leadership in Academia

The university is as boundless as the thing it was named after. Research is never 'finished,' and teaching can always be improved. Moreover, the need for collaboration has increased significantly. This implies exploring interests, setting priorities, aligning activities, motivating colleagues, making agreements, and then holding the others to them. Collaboration also means communication, sometimes quite straightforward, and setting clear boundaries.
