Young Leaders in University Administration

Young Leaders in University Administration

Starting as leader in university administration is exciting and challenging at the same time: Exciting as it is a great experience to create and shape spaces for a team to develop further. Challenging as the first leadership position shapes you as a person and your personality. Additionally many leaders realize that quite often the definition of what “leadership” means remains vague. The course "Starting as a Leader" enables young leaders to get off to a good start in their new position and to manage their tasks with confidence and awareness.
