Building and Leading a Healthy Culture in Your Unit

Denver, CO | September 23, 2027 8:00 am MT - September 24, 2027 12:00 pm MT


Develop the awareness and tools to lead a healthy, intentional culture in your unit.

Event Information

Every unit has a culture, and most of that culture forms without anyone actually deciding what it should be. This workshop is designed for department chairs, associate deans, and deans who want to take a more intentional role in shaping the culture of their unit. You’ll complete the Five Paths to Leadership® Self-Assessment to see how your own style shows up day to day and under stress, then work as a mock department to practice a structured process for naming the cultural features your unit wants to prioritize, as well as the behaviors that support them. You’ll also explore how a team’s collective leadership profile shapes its decisions and dynamics, and leave with an action plan for bringing the process back to your own department.

Who should attend?

Academic leaders who manage a departmental or divisional culture will benefit most from this workshop. In particular, we encourage Department Heads and Chairs, Program Directors, Deans and Associate Deans, Provosts and Associate Provosts, and those working in faculty development to join us. Past attendees of Managing Difficult Faculty and Staff, Essential Leadership Skills for Deans, and Chairs will find this workshop complementary to their previous takeaways.
