Good morning! I work at the Pennsylvania Geological Survey as head of our mineral research program. I am resurrecting a barely-used geochemistry program with new staff, post-docs, and undergrad research. We're not a university, but imagine I am an R1 professor pursuing much of the same activities.
I am starting from scratch, so all I have is an outline of what I would like in a comprehensive doc. Do you have any thoughts or concerns on how I can make the most inclusive and psychologically safe space for folks to know their roles, be able to speak their minds, and have a structure to support professional growth? Thank you so very much for your time!
