Leadership
is
an
important
part
of
the
role
of
any
researcher
throughout
their
career.
Building
your
leadership
skills
and
capabilities
will
enable
you
to
get
the
best
out
of
yourself
and
the
colleagues
you
work
with,
build
your
career
and
contribute
to
creating
a
positive
research
culture
in
UCL.

We
believe
that
leadership
for
a
researcher
has
four
distinct
elements
or
‘pillars’
of
leadership.
These
are:
Developing
yourself
Taking
your
own
development,
growth
and
wellbeing
seriously.
Nurturing
the
development
of
others.
Developing
others
Working together
Collaborating
within
and
beyond
UCL.
Intellectual
leadership
in
your
field.
These
are
not
static,
the
emphasis
on
each
pillar
will
change
as
you
advance
as
a
researcher
and
leader.

This
tool
is
designed
to
provide
guidance
to
you
on
how
to
develop
your
leadership
skills
in
two
ways:
1.
By
showing
how
leadership
evolves
at
key
stages
in
your
career.
2.
The
resources
that
are
available
to
you
to
build
your
leadership
skills,
and
which
are
most
relevant
and
appropriate
at
your
stage
in
your
research
leadership
journey.

Use
Page
2
to
pinpoint
where
you
are
on
your
leadership
journey.
Locate
your
current
role
and
review
the
emphasis
for
leadership
at
that
level.
Some
questions
to
ask
yourself:
–
Does
this
reflect
how
you
currently
balance
the
different
aspects
of
your
role?
–
Do
you
need
to
build
your
leadership
skills
or
abilities
in
any
of
these
aspects?
If
the
answer
to
the
question
above
is
‘yes’,
then
Page
3
will
help.
Here
we
have
shown
the
different
leadership
resources
and
tools
that
are
available
to
you
and
relevant
to
your
leadership
career
stage.
