Lead From Anywhere: Strategies for Oversight Professionals

Leaders come from all areas of an organization and are not necessarily at the top of the organizational structure. Most professionals, at some point in their careers, need to manage a supervisor, peers, or subordinates. Effective leadership is essential for those in the oversight community and is key for ensuring ethical oversight and compliance regardless of whether you are affiliated with the IRB, IACUC, IBC, or another area. Interacting with staff at all levels requires different approaches and skills. These include effectively engaging peers and managing teams and developing your own leadership style with your staff. These skills cross office, role, and organizational boundaries, and identifying strategies and approaches that maximize leadership abilities will benefit any professional. This session, expanding on PRIM&R’s May 2021 webinar, “Leading Up, Down, and Across Your Organization,” will introduce leadership strategies that are effective regardless of the role you fill in your organization. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn and discuss leadership styles, new skills and approaches, and best practices for implementing these skills in a variety of situations and settings. This session will take place in Zoom meeting. The use of attendee video is encouraged for participation and interaction with your peers.
