Leadership skills are similar to research skills - we aren’t born knowing the best approaches but we can learn.

And just like learning how to be a researcher, growing as a leader involves making mistakes, listening to feedback, and improving over time.

The new academic year means new goals, and if you're leading a research group (or yourself!) then some of those goals may be leadership goals.

To celebrate a new year and new goals, @harvardpress.bsky.social is giving 20% off #LabworkToLeadership through Sept.

The path to excellence is rarely a straight line; it comes with ups and downs, twists and turns. Let’s not fixate on the end goal so much that we may overlook valuable lessons along the way.

I often feel busy or overwhelmed and don't have the time I want for the things that bring me joy. Can you relate?

My latest blog post dives into the question we *often* ask when making decisions about our time and the question we *should* be asking instead.

Agreed! As we advance in our careers, the paths become more complex, and the need for guidance grows.
