heiTRACKS Leadership Coaching for Junior Research Group Leaders

The leadership coaching offers you temporary support in consciously and professionally shaping your leadership role as a junior group leader at Heidelberg University. You can take advantage of it at any time during your work as a junior research group leader.

In a confidential dialogue with your coach, you will work through your individual questions, e.g. on employee leadership, self-leadership, decision-making, your own positioning in the university context, managing difficult situations, goal-oriented communication and leadership styles.
In doing so, you will consider a variety of perspectives, exchange ideas with the coach as a neutral counterpart, find your own answers, strengthen your resources and prepare the next steps.

The leadership coaching offer for junior group leaders is part of heiTRACKS Career Support.

• The leadership coaching process usually entails three to six appointments of 90 minutes each every three to six weeks.

• The exact procedure will be agreed upon during the initial meeting with the internal coach Dr. Susanne Scheer.

• This offer is part of heiTRACKS career support and free of charge for junior research group leaders (funded through the University of Excellence).

If appropriate, you can also be referred to an external coach for leadership coaching. Please note that the costs are usually financed from personal, institute, or third-party funds.

We will be happy to answer any questions on the content and organisation of the coaching services available. Confidentiality is guaranteed.
