Leadership & Management Training
Designed for Scientists
What We’re About
We avoid the unnecessary and focus on the important. Generic leadership and manager trainings don’t meet the unique needs of technical staff. As scientists we provide leadership tools to complement your existing technical expertise.
What We Believe
Ignoring leadership training comes at a cost.
Without proper training scientific managers struggle to find purpose & meaning in their work, which negatively impacts the entire team. Each disengaged employee costs an organization the equivalent of 18% of their annual salary.¹
Generic leadership and manager trainings don’t meet the unique needs of technical staff.
The quality and applicability can vary wildly; and managers are left to sort through the breadth of advice on their own. We have distilled down all the important information we have learned and used over the years to provide effective leadership trainings designed for scientists.
Success as a manager is not accidental, it requires a conscious effort!
Scientists are often promoted to management based on technical performance and expertise, meaning transitioning to management requires new skill development and a mindset shift from individual contributor to manager.
