Fostering Collaboration and Resiliency to Accelerate Change
Program Overview
Higher education is going through seismic change. Old ways are crumbling as the value proposition is increasingly questioned in public discourse, especially amid a climate of financial scarcity. Student needs are changing and the ways people work together are transforming. With these factors influencing a declining level of trust between faculty and administration, collaboration in shared governance is suffering more than ever.
The Chronicle and Teibel Education Consulting have developed this virtual professional development program to help administrative leaders overcome this trust gap by developing skills and sensibilities related to interpersonal collaboration. Over the course of two weeks, participants will have the opportunity to transform their practice of shared governance through collaborative workshops and guided exercises on learning how to make tough decisions, leading with resiliency, and building high-performing teams and organizations.
Key Themes
Our program will explore:
The culture of higher ed decision-making: Navigating the complex and nuanced world of shared governance to move key initiatives forward.
Building a culture of commitment: Learning not only how to build consensus across your teams, but also how to elevate the ways we manage our shared commitments.
Declaring how we want to show up: Exercising the authority granted to us in our roles that mobilize our teams around a common mission.

Session 1: May 7, 12 PM - 4 PM ET
