Season 1 – Episode 16: Leading an Academic Department
Leadership is an integral part of career development for individuals across professions and disciplines. Critical areas of leadership often include communication, relationship building and conflict management, team building, change management, and problem-solving. In higher education, leadership is often viewed as a critical factor in the institution’s future. With the immense pressure facing higher education leaders today from internal and external stakeholders, being an effective leader is challenging yet doable. Currently, multiple resources exist online to further develop leadership skills, including CITI Program’s Becoming an Effective Leader course.
