Leading Collaboratively: An In-Person Conference for Mid-Level Supervisors

This event has ended.

Today’s higher education calls us to innovate and collaborate in new ways; grow your potential and that of your team through hands-on practice and reflection.

Overview

As a mid-level supervisor, you have a unique opportunity to lean into your leadership strengths in order to lead in a more collaborative way to foster innovation and inclusion in your team. Through the Academic Impressions Five Paths to Leadership℠ Self-Assessment, you will discover how you show up as a leader in typical circumstances as well as during times of stress, and use this understanding to identify how to work more effectively with colleagues, your supervisor, and members of your team.   

You will also have the opportunity to network with other mid-level supervisors from different institutions and share best practices as we model collaborative meeting design. This conference will focus on practical skillsets and practices that will enable you as the leader to navigate change and complexity while still leading collaboratively. You will then have the opportunity to reflect and identify next steps for envisioning your team.  The skillsets and practices that we will explore include:   

Individual leadership strengths 
Building a foundation of trust 
Fostering creativity in your team  
Collaborating via inclusive meeting designs and practices

Who should attend?

This program is designed for leaders with some supervisory experience who are looking to enhance or evolve their leadership skills. The conference will focus on understanding your own leadership style and how that can help you to build effective and inclusive teams as you lead from the middle.
