Abstract

In this chapter, we will summarize how PIs relate to and communicate with their group, how they deal with underperforming team members, how they like to distribute the work among group members. We will also discuss PIs’ thoughts about the ideal balance between reading and performing experiments, and their preferred meeting schedule with their team.
