Managing teams and processes in a demanding, fast-paced environment is challenging and people-management is often quoted by senior leaders as one of the most difficult aspects of their job. During May a group of talented researchers embarked on a VCCC-sponsored leadership program to assist them to transition from their current roles as researchers and research managers into effective leaders of research teams.
This sponsored opportunity is provided annually by the VCCC and up to 10 scholarships are offered worth $ 2,000 each. Congratulations to:
