First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that. This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.   https://t.co/Eqdh3Cb7Sp

The more positional authority you have as a leader, the more you have to invite dissent if you want the best ideas to surface. Some of my favorites are: -I’m not even sure that I agree with my idea here… -Please push back on this… -I know there are a lot of good options…

Leadership skills are similar to research skills - we aren’t born knowing the best approaches but we can learn. And just like learning how to be a researcher, growing as a leader involves making mistakes, listening to feedback, and improving over time.

Just received my copy of Labwork to Leadership by @jenheemstra — can’t wait to dive in!

Failure isn’t the opposite of success... ... it is the pathway to it 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Embracing failure with a growth mindset can have a transformative impact on our journey. Every failure shows that we had the courage to try, carries a lesson within it, and leaves us better equipped to continue toward our goals. @jenheemstra

Mindset: Becoming a professional ‘fail-er’ can prevent you from ‘fail-ure’ ⁦@jenheemstra⁩

Huge thank you to @RCSA1 and @jenheemstra for the signed copy of Labwork to Leadership! Perfect timing as I head into the chemistry faculty job market this year. 👀 #chemtwitter

Making mistakes and failing are inevitable, especially in research. However, how you approach failing can impact your ultimate success. My latest blog post shares how becoming a professional ‘fail-er’ can prevent you from ‘fail-ure’: https://t.co/gZGB6OZWej

In this special episode, I review @jenheemstra's book "Labwork to Leadership". In this easy read, Jen offers practical strategies for self-development, leading others, and creating leaders. Highly recommended for investigators and trainees alike.

As leaders, we often think about what we need to do each day. Just as important is to think about who we want to *be* each day. How we spend our time is important, but what we value and how we treat others is critical to achieving our goals for ourselves and those around us.

@jenheemstra’s book “Labwork to Leadership” is a refreshingly candid and practical guide for scientists stepping into leadership roles, often unexpectedly like it was for me. I really love how she frames the journey, breaking leadership into three courses (1) starting with

Traveling sans toddler so devouring this book! Thanks @jenheemstra for sharing your wisdom #AcademicExcellence #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter

The new academic year means new goals, and if you're leading a research group (or yourself!) then some of those goals may be leadership goals. To celebrate a new year and new goals, @Harvard_Press is giving 20% off #LabworkToLeadership through September. https://t.co/7oSc7ESPu4
