TOPX Coach Connection Session
Effective Decision Making in Teams
Effective Decision making in Life Science Teams
Why do some teams make clear decisions and move forward, while others get stuck in endless discussions, revisit decisions that were already made, or struggle to turn decisions into action?
Effective decision-making is a critical leadership skill, particularly in the complex and collaborative environment of Life Sciences. Unclear decision-making processes can result in lengthy discussions, lack of ownership, poorly communicated decisions and difficulties with implementation.
In this interactive TOPX workshop, you will explore a practical and structured approach to making better decisions — both as a team member and as a leader. We will look at the complete decision-making process: from understanding and defining the issue, through developing and evaluating alternatives, to making and implementing the final decision. We will also address the human side of decision-making: communication, influence, conflict, trust and psychological safety.
What will you take away?
A practical toolkit for making decisions more efficiently and transparently, greater awareness of your own role in team decision-making, and concrete ideas you can immediately apply in your daily work.
For whom?
Women working in Life Sciences who lead teams, projects or cross-functional collaborations — or who want to increase their influence and effectiveness in group decision-making.
Speaker: Marleen Gaillard
Personal & Team Leadership Coach
MG Life Science
Marleen is Personal & Team Leadership Coach specialized in the Life Science industry. She is a people-focused leader who has worked for more than 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry in various global roles and experienced first-hand the challenges of working in this heavily regulated industry.
She realized that to be an effective leader in complex teams and organizations, you have to be an expert in communication and collaboration and need to be able to influence and motivate people. These “human skills” do not always comes naturally to many Life Science Professionals who prefer to focus on facts, details and data and usually have analytical and rational ways to solve problems.
She decided to start her own company, MG Life Science, and now focuses on helping other Life Science Professionals to become the best version of themselves and build a strong leadership mindset, so they develop highly motivated and effective teams that deliver above expectations and make a difference to patients.
Her mission is to make coaching available to all Life Science Professionals, independent of the phase in their career or level in the company. The best sports(wo)men and business leaders are supported by coaches and, at least partly, dedicate their success to their coach. Why would this be different for Life Science professionals?
