It does not matter if you are already leading a Regulatory Affairs Team or if this is one of your goals for the future. This workshop will give you an understanding of what leadership means, in particular when it comes to Regulatory and Quality. Learn about the typical career routes you can take as a Regulatory professional, and the skills/experience companies look for at different levels. Gain an insight into different personality types and how this impacts behavior; so you can be a more effective communicator as a team member, partner and a leader. Leadership skills in the context of tasks, company size and country portfolio as well as soft skills versus technical skills will be reviewed. You will learn how to structure successful teams able to cope with critical situations. This will be a hands on worshop where you will be trained on how to have difficult conversations, negotiation skills, and how to get your desired outcome from your counterpart (e.g. Notified Bodies, or your boss).
