13- Prof. Ralph Mueller- Leading teams into their own power

You would think that starting your 1st fellowship straight out of your PhD with a PI who has just left for a sabbatical could be quite challenging and frustrating. It turns out that for Ralph this perceived challenge became a massive learning opportunity. He learned to build a team without the classical hierarchy observed in most labs. This influential experience shaped his perception of what it means to work well in teams, and how he has now structured his own research group in a way that promotes the research leadership transition of others. About RalphRalph Müller is Professor of Biomechanics in the Department of Health Sciences and Technology as well as Deputy head of the Institute for Biomechanics at ETH Zurich (Switzerland).Get in touch with Ralph:https://www.bone.ethz.ch/ Find out about:·      How the departure of your PI on a sabbatical could be the best gift you get to boost your research independence   ·      What building trust with your research team could look like·      How not rushing the recruitment of your 1st PhD students may be a wise choice·      Why your leadership approach is a journey of reinvention·      How transparency in promotion panels can turn the hidden process of ranking academic performance into a collective learning opportunity If you want to be updated each time I publish a podcast, you can join my mailing list and I will share with you the Podcast link and the shownotes.
