Labwork to Leadership

Posted

Jen Heemstra’s Labwork to Leadership: A Concise Guide to Thriving in the Science Job You Weren’t Trained For is the book I’ve been hoping to find for years. It includes sections on managing yourself, managing others, and coaching future leaders, all grounded in first-hand experience and empirical research. I wish it included more on organizational change and winding projects down, but those are my preoccupations: as is, it would be a great foundation for a Carpentries-style workshop, and I hope someone creates that.
