Provosts everywhere are grappling with turnover among their deans. If you are in the position of hiring and preparing to onboard new deans, start them off on the right foot with our comprehensive success program.
Academic Impressions’ Deans Success Program is designed to support new deans holistically as they learn new skills and navigate the complexities of their roles. Our intentionally designed experience combines in-person conferences, 1-on-1 executive coaching and access to our membership library, where your deans can join live discussions with their peers, attend trainings on a particular topic of interest, or access any of our on-demand, self-paced courses for a deeper dive into a focus area. To ensure your dean gets the resources and support most needed, we will meet with your dean at the beginning of the program to help them define and curate a customized learning plan based on their individual and unit priorities. This program will help your deans:
- Deepen their leadership skillset and toolsets.
- Navigate conflict successfully and productively.
- Build a high-performing senior team built around trust and psychological safety.
- Create an appetite for change.
- Break the pattern of zero-sum thinking and facilitate positive-sum conversations.
- Foster a proactive and collaborative leadership stance across faculty and staff.
- Better understand their role in the fundraising process, including how to partner with unit-based development officers.
The program is valued at $15,000 and can be completed within a 6-month or 12-month time frame. It includes:
This session will allow Academic Impressions to learn more about the dean’s needs and priorities, so that we can help them identify and select the best training to meet their needs. We will also use this session to help orient them to the services provided in the program, so they can plan accordingly. If multiple deans from the same institution wish to participate in this program together, we can bring them together in this session.
