Learn strategies to lead past the challenges and personalities that you encounter in your work during times of uncertainty.

Overview

During the COVID-19 pandemic, department chairs especially need to see themselves as conduits of information. Relaying timely information in the right way will help you combat the uncertainty around fall classes and budget reductions and ensure the “squeaky wheels” and “quiet types” contribute in more productive ways.

Join us online for an in-depth, 2-hour workshop that will help you open lines of communication to motivate your teams and make expectations clearer. In this workshop, you will learn how to craft a communications strategy that gets the right messages flowing in all directions. You will practice your communications strategy in small groups, brainstorming how to address common departmental scenarios that emerge in high-anxiety times.

Who should attend?

This program will benefit department chairs, program directors, and anyone of a similar title who is responsible for leading an academic department on campus. Deans and other academic administrators will also find the content of this training valuable.
