Centralized and Integrated Leadership Development: A Model from Columbus State University

Last updated October 19, 2020

Create a shared culture of leadership development across your campus.

Overview

To ensure your faculty, staff, and students are prepared for the future of the workplace and are well positioned to become the leaders of tomorrow, it is vital to invest in their leadership development today. You likely already have many leadership development programs across your campus, but they might operate separately from each other, reach limited audiences, or struggle to self-sustain. A more effective way to offer leadership development is to create a single program that is easily accessible, inclusive to all, and embedded in the fabric of your everyday work.

Join us online and learn how Columbus State University has done just that. No longer is their leadership development distributed across multiple departments across campus — instead, they have created a self-sustaining, centralized, and integrated model that embeds leadership training throughout the university. By having faculty, staff, and even students sit side-by-side to share perspectives, they are breaking down barriers and uniting the campus community. In addition, they extend their reach into the larger community by training and collaborating with organizations and business leaders. The benefit of a model like this is that all faculty, staff, and students receive the same message: that their leadership development is important and worth investing in.

Who should attend?

If you’re looking for ways to unify or strengthen your on-campus leadership programs, this webcast is for you. This training is specifically designed for senior leaders, human resources, or others looking to align and integrate separate and distinct leadership programs.
