The Duke LEADER program is an interactive 3-day workshop designed for junior faculty who are leaders in research. Program participants develop leadership skills and learn strategies for managing a scientific laboratory or research program, including tools for improving productivity, enhancing teamwork, and nurturing creativity and innovation.

The program was developed to bridge the gap between the scientific expertise that led individuals to a career in academic medicine, and the management skills that will be required to succeed as the leaders of small business units.

The course provides a unique opportunity for junior faculty to work and network with a diverse and multidisciplinary group of faculty across the university.
