• It’s the overall objective of this course, to enable young scientists to act as team leaders. This means that they are able to reflect on group situations, to practice leadership techniques and to influence their team members to engage in a high team performance. To achieve this objective it might be useful to formulate the following sub-goals. • Discussion of the means and ends to influence people’s behaviour in a leadership context. • To realize and reflect one’s own leadership experiences – be it as a leader or as a person who was led by others. • To realize the ambiguities and potential conflicts, which might be related to a leadership role in groups and organizations. • To reflect one’s own strengths and weaknesses particularly with regard to acting as a team leader.

• Who or what is leading us? Leadership as practice – the practice of leadership • Leadership as management of ambiguities • Basics of individual motivation • Selected leadership techniques • Leadership, authority and conflict • The basic rules of successful leadership in groups • Steering media in leadership processes
