Modern Science and R&D critically rely on teamwork. This completely revised and expanded book "Towards Scientific Leadership" offers a unique approach to helping young professionals transition from productive team members to effective team leaders. The authors provide innovative ideas and strategies for leadership development, setting the book apart from others in the field. The basis of being a successful leader is authentic self-leadership – essential for all who want to control their own life. People who know themselves and realise what it takes to be productive and deliver results also understand how to lead others and inspire them to perform naturally and undertake initiatives. For scientists, who like to focus on knowledge and insight and how to transfer it to others, self-leadership is key to creating value and adopting it in practice. The book explains how to become a successful (self)leader, not with tricks, but with an inspiring vision and mission, the correct mindset, and effective teamwork.

"Lab Dynamics is a book about the challenges to doing science and dealing with the individuals involved, including oneself. The authors, a scientist and a psychotherapist, draw on principles of group and behavioral psychology but speak to scientists in their own language about their own experiences. They offer in-depth, practical advice, real-life examples, and exercises tailored to scientific and technical workplaces on topics as diverse as conflict resolution, negotiation, dealing with supervision, working with competing peers, and making the transition from academia to industry." "This is a uniquely valuable contribution to the scientific literature, on a subject of direct importance to lab heads, postdocs, and students. It is also required reading for senior staff concerned about improving efficiency and effectiveness in academic and industrial research."--BOOK JACKET

The past half-century has witnessed a dramatic increase in the scale and complexity of scientific research. The growing scale of science has been accompanied by a shift toward collaborative research, referred to as "team science." Scientific research is increasingly conducted by small teams and larger groups rather than individual investigators, but the challenges of collaboration can slow these teams' progress in achieving their scientific goals. How does a team-based approach work, and how can universities and research institutions support teams? Enhancing the Effectiveness of Team Science synthesizes and integrates the available research to provide guidance on assembling the science team; leadership, education and professional development for science teams and groups. It also examines institutional and organizational structures and policies to support science teams and identifies areas where further research is needed to help science teams and groups achieve their scientific and translational goals. This report offers major public policy recommendations for science research agencies and policymakers, as well as recommendations for individual scientists, disciplinary associations, and research universities. Enhancing the Effectiveness of Team Science will be of interest to university research administrators, team science leaders, science faculty, and graduate and postdoctoral students.

Leadership IQ is a comprehensive leadership program based on an exhaustive six-year empirical study of what makes great leaders tick. Author Emmett Murphy and his associates studied 18,000 managers at 562 large and small organizations in all types of industries in the United States and around the world. Of the original 18,000, they identified just over 1,000 individuals who demonstrated exceptional leadership abilities, and then isolated the qualities that made those leaders great. Emmett Murphy and his associates have used their research findings to create a groundbreaking new way to assess and improve leadership ability. This dynamic leadership development program has yielded remarkable results wherever it's been tried, including IBM, GM, AT&T, Xerox, McDonald's, Johnson & Johnson, and Chase Manhattan, all prestigious clients of E.C. Murphy, Ltd. Here's how it works: Once you've read about what's working in other organizations, it's time to take a look at your own performance. By taking the "Leader-ship IQ Test" found in the back of this book, you'll develop a very clear picture of how your performance stacks up in all the key areas discussed in the book. And, for those areas in which your scores are weakest, there are easy-to-follow leadership IQ-building exercises. You'll also find dozens of sample scripts and dialogues of successful leaders in action designed to help you reshape your thinking and behavior. Based on the most comprehensive empirical study of leadership ever conducted and including the invaluable insights and advice of a top international management consulting firm, Leadership IQ offers you an unparalleled opportunity to discover the inner workings of great leaders and how to become one yourself.

While the future is uncertain, we clearly see an upward trend towards sustainable conscious business. And this is more than just a trend - we're witnessing a new kind of organization emerging. An organization which is able to rapidly sense and respond to the ever-changing business climate by innovating how and why it creates and delivers value, and the way it engages internally and externally with its ecosystem of employees, customers, suppliers, resources, investors, society and environment. This new kind of organization is the organization-as-living-system that is designed on the Logic of Life: life-affirming businesses that thrive from the inside out, by cultivating conditions conducive for life, internally and externally. These organizations nurture flourishing cultures while focusing on products and services that enhance society and the environment. Regenerative organizations will be tomorrow's success stories.
