The best scientists and technologists do not necessarily make the best supervisors and managers. Promoting the wrong people into management positions can be a disaster for the person, for the staff and for you. In this webinar we will identify the competencies of excellent managers and leaders (you may find out something about yourself too!). We also give you the opportunity to compare some of your staff against these characteristics.

As an attendee, you will learn how to:

• Identify the skills that highly competent scientists and technologists need to meet the demands of management
• Consider the history and unique characteristics of your organization
• Develop a selection list for comparing the available candidates
