Overview

October 8 and 9, 2024 | In-person Workshop

November 19, 2024 (1:00pm – 2:30pm ET) | Report-out from October session 

During our previous workshop, you established a leadership commitment for yourself. In our upcoming session, you’ll do the following:

  1. Reflect on and evaluate progress you’ve made on that commitment
  2. Learn from each other via the practice of a coaching approach

No specific preparation is needed, nor do you need to bring anything specific to the training. Just come prepared to engage in conversation with your colleagues.


December 17, 2024 (1:00pm – 2:30pm ET) | Five Paths to Leadership℠ Continued Learning

To prepare for this session:

  1. If you have not already done so, please complete The Five Paths to Leadership℠ Self-Assessment – Academic Impressions
  2. If you were unable to attend the workshop on October 8 & 9, or if you need a refresher on understanding your self-assessment results, express register to complete this course: Understanding Your Five Paths to Leadership℠ Assessment Results – Academic Impressions

You’ve been introduced to the Five Paths to Leadership℠ Self-Assessment. Now it’s time to dig a little deeper. You told us that you’d like to discuss in more detail what happens to your scores under stress.  You ask…we deliver. In this session, we’re going to explore how your scores/paths blend together in unique ways and you’ll dig deeper into understanding what happens to your scores under stress. The goal of the conversation is to develop a greater understanding of your leadership and how it may be impacted by stress, so that you can be better prepared to navigate stressful situations effectively.


January 21, 2025 (9:30am – 11:00am ET) | Giving Feedback

Giving feedback to faculty and staff in a way that is both direct and respectful is a challenging thing to do, even for seasoned leaders. Most of us figure it out the hard way by fumbling, softening what we meant to say, or confusing the message.  In the long-run, this approach can delay or prevent the faculty’s development or pathway to promotion and tenure and, consequently, it impacts the department and university as a whole. We’ll explore the topic of providing feedback to faculty.  Specifically, you’ll learn and practice using a simple, yet effective, four-step method, which you can use to provide timely, constructive and meaningful feedback in a way that feels collaborative and engaging. 

There is no pre-work for the January meeting. 


For the following sessions, agendas will be updated soon:

March 18, 2025 (9:00am – 10:30am ET)| High Performing Teams Assessment
