Overview

Everybody seems to talk about leadership these days.  Apparently, it is no longer enough to be good at your job as a statistician – you have to be a statistical leader to get on!

Is this just a temporary fad that will blow over, or is there more to it? We turn to Chrissie Fletcher and Andy Grieve to ask them what they think about leadership, how they got where they are, and what tips they have for those who will be the statistical leaders of the next generation.

If you are thinking about your personal development and want to go into 2021 with a bit of a boost, then this webinar could be the right point for you to get started. It may help you identify areas that you would like to develop further. We will cover (or rather: scratch the surface of) different aspects of statistical leadership, including:

  • What makes a statistical leader?
  • Strategic and visionary thinking for statisticians
  • Influencing without authority
  • The importance of good communication
  • The value of networking

Over the course of 2021, we will offer several training sessions that go into more depth, so you can use this webinar as a taster.  Stay tuned for further announcements!
