Statisticians Talk About Leadership

摘要

The statistics profession continues to mature in the area of personal leadership development. There is growing awareness that all statisticians should develop their leadership competencies and that statisticians with well-developed leadership competencies will be instrumental in advancing our profession. At the last two JSMs, the ASA workgroup on developing training on statistical leadership presented a continuing education workshop titled Preparing Statisticians for Leadership: How to See the Big Picture and Have More Influence. Plans are being made to offer this workshop again at JSM 2016 in Chicago. Additional plans are being made to develop and offer new continuing education courses on relevant leadership topics at both JSM and local ASA chapter meetings.
