Catchup – Salon – Being a Great Leader & Mentor
06/11/2024 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
A weekly gathering to discuss careers and research topics, inspired by 17th and 18th century salons from Paris, with a modern twist. These sessions combine livestreams, guest speakers and group chat to exchange ideas, challenge, influence, inspire and educate.
In this session we talk about Being a Great Leader and Mentor.
Exceptional leadership and mentorship in dementia research go far beyond scientific prowess. What if we measured leadership success not by individual accolades but by the collaborative breakthroughs and growth of the entire team? Or by how many of your lab continue in research? Or how many PhD students pass in your team? Today, the Salon challenges the conventional metrics of leadership, advocating for a model that values diverse perspectives, encourages risk-taking, and fosters an inclusive environment. Imagine a world where leaders inspire innovation while deeply nurturing the next generation of researchers. Let’s explore how such transformative leadership can reshape the future of dementia research, balancing groundbreaking science with the holistic development of every team member. Watch our speakers, and then stick around for a chat, and share your views.
