*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
All academics are or will become leaders, but how do you lead clever and
independent-minded academics? How do you bring out the best in people as
a leader? How do you have those difficult conversations? How do you and
your colleagues not just survive but thrive? How do you ‘do’ academic
leadership?
Leading people is one of the most difficult aspects of being a leader
and particularly so in the complex academic environment of Informatics.
And the foundation for being a good leader is knowing yourself and being
able to bring your full self to the role. You will have the opportunity
to explore these issues together with Prof. Geraldine Fitzpatrick
<http://igw.tuwien.ac.at/hci/people/gfitzpatrick> and Prof. Austen
Rainer <https://pure.qub.ac.uk/en/persons/austen-rainer>, who are both
senior Informatics/Computing academics with strong leadership
backgrounds and experience and who complement that experience with
scientific evidence-based approaches to positive leadership practice.
Through six 2-hour online workshop sessions, complemented by in-between
preparation work (own time engaging with video/audio content, worksheets
and readings) and peer support sessions, you will have a facilitated
learning experience to help you:
* *Situate your leadership:*
o Appreciate the unique opportunities and challenges of academic
leadership;
o Locate your academic leadership within its wider context and
identify the leadership approach you want to bring to it;
* *Lead yourself:*
o Evaluate your own values and strengths to provide the foundation
for a positive strengths-based approach to your leadership;
o Identify and practice simple techniques to survive and thrive as
an academic leader;
* *Lead others:*
o Appreciate what makes academics tick and how to bring out the
best in people;
o Identify and practice simple techniques for building collegial
cultures;
* *Further your own development:*
o Identify how to integrate evidence-based recommendations with
reflection on your and others’ experience with individual, pair
and small-group activities;
o Develop a plan of action for growing as an academic leader.

*Target Audience
*
This course is intended to develop *new and emerging leaders in
Informatics and Computing*. This is particularly appropriate for early
or middle career academics. Indicative examples are (assistant)
professor, project leader, group leader, theme leader; or any other
academic leadership service roles, recognising that all academics are or
will become leaders in some way.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Format*
This will be an exclusive, highly interactive, practical, experiential
course by computer scientists for computer scientists. There will be
opportunities for reflection through individual conversation,
small-group activity, larger group discussion, peer support, and pre-
and post-session activities. The course takes a blended learning
approach. It will require at least a 2 hour commitment every week over
12 weeks (counting the pre-work time), to attend bi-weekly Zoom sessions
and to undertake the in-between work. The in-between work is an
essential component of the 12-week course.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Intended Outcomes
*
Takeaways from this course include:
* A clearer sense of your own leadership identity and style;
* Strategies for self-care, self-management, life hacks, cognitive
hacks, work-life integration, being a good role model;
* An understanding of what makes people tick;
* Strategies for identifying and developing people’s strengths and
building a collegial culture;
* Strategies for communicating powerfully through good attention,
questions, listening, and dealing with challenging conversations;
* An action plan for what to do next;
* Opportunities to continue to engage with participants upon
completion of the course.
Participants will receive an *Informatics Europe Certificate*
recognising their participation and engagement with the course
(attendance at least 4 of the 6 online workshops required for a
certificate to be issued).
There are also opportunities to continue discussion with the
facilitators and participants after the course has completed so as to
support participants in their continued leadership development.
