Building your network is one of the most powerful single actions you can take to advance your career. The old axiom of “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”, although not exactly accurate, is close. It’s what you know AND who you know that matters. This is for very good reason. It is well recognized that employees who are either direct referrals from existing workers, or who are from within the organization, have the highest likelihood of succeeding, vs new hires that come from job posting sites, recruiters, or other more anonymous sources. So building your network so that you can be one of those referrals provides you with a powerful advantage. As part of the SciPhD family, you have access to literally thousands of fellow SciPhD graduates, many of whom are already in professional organizations, and who are happy to assist you in your efforts to land your first job.
Developing Your People is all about how to establish productive collaborative relationships that enable others to succeed, by being sensitive to their level of competence and independence for essential tasks and using that empathic awareness to develop rapport. This session is an introduction to assembling and managing a team using communications and delegation techniques that improve team performance through directing, coaching, supporting and delegating behaviors. One of the keys to success is understanding the factors that motivate people and applying those factors to develop a high performing team. We also look at sound management principles that are driven by those motivating factors to establish rapport with, and commitment from your team members.
The four sessions of Successful Communications as a Scientist are designed to get you thinking beyond the technical content of your communications and begin to use your entire brain: the logical data-driven thinking dimensions, the affective and emotional engagement dimensions, and the socially attuned and shared ownership dimensions. One must attend to these “stages of communications” to frame your communications. We have found that using the 3 communications dimensions of content, affective (also called emotional or empathetical) and your social role is very effective in making this communication transition to industry. Using these three dimensions engages the whole brain in communications: logic, emotion, and social affinity.
