Managing a lab involves a wide range of decisions, many of which have significant impact on the people and mission of the lab. The first two courses of this stream focus on the process of making difficult decisions, and how to introduce data-driven decision-making processes into the lab. Data-driven decisions are more objective and easier to communicate. Some of these decisions revolve around the appropriate changes required for the lab to thrive. The Change Management course will help lab managers embrace an effective change process and address questions about convincing people to accept the change, and how to sustain important changes for the lab. Other decisions involve other people, so learning to negotiate more effectively in the Negotiating Win/Win course will help lab managers improve their comfort and skill in negotiating and teach them the value of win/win outcomes. Finally, lab managers need to learn how to bring new ideas into the lab and gain support from people over whom they have no authority. The Networking and Influence course will teach improved networking skills and how to win allies and supporters through influence.
There are five courses included in this program and the program will take approximately five hours to complete.
A certificate of completion is available upon successful completion of each course.
