Leadership development with Austen Rainer

Austen Rainer and I love co-facilitating academic leadership development courses for Informatics Europe and sharing experiences with so many people who share a commitment to doing academia differently. In this conversation we reflect on how these courses came about and experiences running them so far. We also try to unpack the similarities and differences between the online and residential versions of the course as well as the broad topic areas we cover. Join us in being part of changing academic cultures through good leadership practices.[A leader is] “anyone who holds themselves accountable for developing the potential in others” Lucy Ryan, Lunchtime Learning for Leaders p.3 “A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential” Brené Brown“... collectively trying to change academic cultures for the better through positive constructive leadership practices, and bringing out the best in people.” Geri“I find it such a rewarding course to be involved in, how much I learn from everybody that participates,...and certainly that's the feedback we get, how beneficial the course is to help people in the kind of development... of leadership in academia.” AustenOverview (times approximate):0:05 Welcome to Changing Academic Life. 5:58 Dagstuhl 2019 and the first meeting. 10:26 What made you want to do the master’s degree? 16:42 What is the value of co-facilitation? 20:05 How would you define leadership within the academic context? 25:20 Giving people permission to pursue something.33:09 The importance of self-reflection and ongoing learning. 40:38 Differences between online courses vs. residential courses.44:16 Broad topic areas of the courses48:46 Invitation to join the next courses -online starting in Spring 2023 and the residential in June 2023 50:40 EndDownload a full transcript of the conversation.Related links:Informatics Europe Leadership Courses - overview page - with links to next course offerings (special rates for people from IE member institutions)Online Academic Leadership Development course Spring 2023 - early bird reg 31 Jan, registration open until 17 Feb.Residential Academic Leadership Development course June 2023 - early bird reg 28 AprilInformatics Europe - IE home page - encourage your institution to become members if they are not already
