Some theory…. (not very much) Leadership as ENERGY
– Give inspiration to people – Be a driving force (also in necessary
processes that requires change)
Leadership as RESTRICTION – Say NO quite often (and this is much
more difficult in good times than bad times)
– Restrictive feedback must be understood
Leadership as SYMBOL – Represent core values – Institutional identity

RESEARCH AND LEADERSHIP; Five things to remember!
![Page 6: Entering leadership in Research · Entering leadership in Research Morten Dæhlen (Professor, Head of department) Department of informatics, University of Oslo](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041604/5e32d1911cbeea7ea5547a7b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Research and leadership I; the nature of research
• Research is systematic development of new knowledge
• Good leadership in research requires insight in the nature of research
• It is not absolutely necessary, however a great advantage to have been a researcher.

Research and leadership II; free research
• Good research requires room for the free thought
• Good leadership (of free research) is all about creating collective power under cultivation of individual skills
• Research, and in particular free research, requires excellent leadership to meet the future

Research and leadership III; decision making
• The flow of ideas and possibilities in research is always much higher than what can be done with available resources.
• The key to decision making lies in continuous and integrated implementation of long/large and short/small decision processes.

Research and leadership IV; change • “Everything is connected to everything” (Gro Harlem
Bruntland) and “Everything flows” (Heraklit) gives something like “Everything comes together in constant change!”
• Change is development! (The fear of change must be overcome!)
• Changes can be slow, but it is not wise to stand still!

Research and leadership; knowledge as a tool
• In (research) management, knowledge is the most important tool for constructive action
• Researchers like resistance (but this must be based on knowledge)
• Conversation is very important in the practice of good (research) management.

How I think that others perceive me
as a leader?
How other actually perceive me
as a leader?

My own tool to gain self-insight as a leader?
I have a couple of good friends (that are leaders at some level)
to talk to about self-insight!
