Build the Capacity of Your Institution’s Leaders

FREE RECORDED WEBCAST

Build the Capacity of Your Institution’s Leaders

As higher education faces a time of crisis, we need leaders at every level of the institution who can grow and think differently about the future. We need answers to questions like these:

  • How do you identify potential leaders?
  • What kind of support and resources should you be providing to your people?
  • How can leaders best develop the capacity of their entire organization?
  • What actually works in terms of creating more effective leaders?

Our colleges and universities don’t traditionally have a culture of systematically developing their people.

In this free webcast recording, we’ll share what some colleges and universities are trying, what’s working, and what isn’t.

Agenda

Drawing on our experience working with 2,000 universities each year—and on our recent survey of over 2,500 higher-ed professionals about their challenges in developing their people—we want to share with you four ways that leading institutions are building their capacity. We’ll share examples from real colleges and universities, including:

  • How one large university is being more planful and intentional with their professional development
  • How one community college is getting more impact and return from their training investment
  • How one regional state university is retaining key people
  • How one small liberal arts school is creating a culture of learning, growth, and innovation
