Do they see you as authentic? Do they see you as having empathy? Can they see your logic? In the article, Frei and Morriss introduce the idea of the “trust wobble”, a part of the triangle that’s less strong. The good news is that these three elements can be supported by choices you make. The impact of trust-generating behaviors were quantitatively measured in the second article, Zenger and Folkman’s The 3 Elements of Trust, also from HBR. They focused on what you do to generate the perceptions Frei and Morriss describe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636d653e7cd39747c8b1b876/c3a4c43d-4a6a-4de1-aba9-c89400dacf08/trust+combinations.png Blog - Three ways of looking at the Trust Triangle - Zenger and Folkman framed authenticity as consistency, empathy as relationships, and logic as judgment. They quantified which vertex had the most impact. As you can see in the figure, if you only have two vertices, or one, their work showed that relation ships—empathy— was the most important. You can use this knowledge to think about what you do so that people see you as trustworthy. You can improve the perception of your empathy by building positive relationships. You can demonstrate your logic with consistent good judgement and expertise and by being transparent about what underlies your decisions. People can feel they experience the real you when you are consistent, when you walk the talk and when you do what you say you will do when you say you will do it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636d653e7cd39747c8b1b876/967d491c-1c14-48aa-9e72-b4889f3fbc4d/trust+table.png Blog -

The program takes 4-6 months total, and includes both written critiques, direct editorial suggestions, and discussions . Group programs are also designed to promote a culture of mutual support and collaboration. Proposals can come from any area of research and scholarship, and mixed cohorts have great outcomes. Ideally, a group cohort would be selected from participants in Planning and Writing Successful Grant Proposals or Developing and Funding Your Research Individual Proposal Development Clients receive the same level of critique and interaction without the mock review panel. Individual grant consultations can be combined with individual research leadership coaching.

Please ask for our full statement of work. Our approach includes inviting research development professionals from your institution onto our team, so they can learn from our methods. Advance Development. Before the proposal requirements can be addressed, there must be a clear vision. When there are competing priorities, we can help you find the through-line in a complex information field to allow you to create the teams that fit your strengths and your institutional priorities. Proposal Development We have extensive experience in creating and executing plans to respond to complex proposal solicitations. We can help you design and describe cores and administrative structures, integrate the research descriptions, and help you convey the compelling story for your Center or large collaborative work. We combine editing skills with a deep understanding of how large proposals work. Comprehensive Development By combining advance development, leadership development and proposal development, we can support the creation of a team with shared goals and vision through to the submission of a highly competitive proposal. By including leadership development, we leave behind new capacity for the future.

Meetings generally last 1 hour, with homework that includes activities and reading. The eight sessions cover the most important skill of a leader; gaining the ability to have a more systems-based view of their research enterprise; key methods for establishing and maintaining a productive culture in collaborative groups; concrete tools for setting expectations, holding difficult conversations; concrete tools for early-stage planning for projects/proposals, large and small.

Our 8-session coaching programs are tailored to the client’s goals and needs, bringing skills and approaches backed by solid research. Individuals can engage in the curriculum-based program or with more tailored leadership development. Combined research leadership coaching and grant development We combine individual grant consultation combined with eight weeks of individual research leadership development coaching as a faculty development package.

Through relatable scenarios that create context, we offer hands-on practice in skills that help you work more effectively, whether you manage a single publication or a large collaborative grant. Workshop sizes are limited to provide an engaged and interactive experience, with the opportunity to explore key concepts. The content works well both virtually and in-person. We recommend dividing the full-day workshop into two 4-hour sessions on concurrent days for the best participant experience. Consulting and Coaching Shorter group trainings or individual consultations can target specific skills, for example Lean Canvas, project estimation and work breakdown, or meeting facilitation and culture. Sessions are led by ATG’s Agile coach and consultant, Jet LeBlanc, often collaboratively with academic partners.

We work with established teams to strengthen their relationships and hone their vision, establishing a plan for developing a proposal or project. We work with nascent groups to develop new collaborative ideas and form convergent teams. From a collection of individual researchers, the new team emerges with a plan for turning their ideas into reality. Some comments from former workshop participants about what they learned: “Working with diverse teams can be a challenge, but there are ways to approach these interactions that will not only improve team development but will also move science forward in new and important ways.” “I learned that multi-disciplinary collaboration opens new ways of looking at the same problem, brings new ideas, and helps achieve a more efficient and practical outcome!” “I appreciate learning tools to better communicate with colleagues.” Consulting ATG’s trained coaches and facilitators help teams solidify, re-energize, or re-form. We combine education and coaching to help struggling teams truly work together to create outstanding research.
