Laboratory leaders are often faced with difficult choices—whether related to staffing, budgets, research priorities, or safety—without the benefit of complete or reliable information, and with urgency for the decision to be made. Managing through ambiguity requires balancing risk, confidence, and adaptability while keeping teams aligned and operations moving forward. This Management Matters webinar equips lab managers, supervisors, and decision-makers with strategies to navigate uncertainty, make effective choices, and communicate decisions clearly, even when not all the facts are available. Participants will gain tools to strengthen resilience, foster trust, and guide their labs through complex challenges.
As an attendee, you will learn more about:
- Techniques for making timely decisions with incomplete information
- Frameworks for balancing risk, priorities, and resources under uncertainty
- Communication strategies to maintain trust and clarity with staff during ambiguous situations
- Approaches to build adaptability and resilience into lab teams and operations
