Developing Leadership Skills

on the profession (occupational)

AN

Leading people is not a logical task, but a psychological one. Without an understanding of the basic principles of human thinking, emotions, and behavior, no leader can be truly effective. This course translates key insights from management psychology into the everyday practice of leaders and managers. It connects two fundamental dimensions of leadership: the ability to manage oneself and the ability to lead others effectively.

The educational objective of the programme is to develop managerial and leadership skills in the context of the academic and research environment. The programme takes a practical approach and responds to real-life challenges related to leading people and teams, managing research, and navigating change in the academic and research environment. At the same time, it is geared towards acquiring inspiration from experts from the Czech Republic and partner universities within the Aurora Alliance, and sharing experiences with other leaders and managers at Palacký University Olomouc.

The programme is intended for managerial and senior UP staff.

Participants will gain practical approaches to working with their own emotions, attention, and energy, as well as strategies for building a healthy team culture, preventing frustration, and fostering people?s motivation and development. The course addresses these topics within the context of the academic environment.
