Program

The Leadership Development Program consists of two academic year-long development programs for emerging and senior leaders, the Leadership Academy and the Leadership Institute. The program is designed to ensure organizational success through sustained development of current and future leaders.

Program participation will develop leaders’ skills in the areas of:

  • Communication
  • Collaborations
  • Building Relationships
  • Strategic Planning and Decision Making
  • Leading and Managing Change
  • Developing and Leading Teams

The program consists of a pre-program leadership style and competency assessment; semi-monthly learning events; executive coaching; the development and completion of a collaborative leadership work project; a post program leadership competency assessment and sustained development plan.

Candidate nominations will be coordinated internally by Control Point representatives who will work with organization leadership to rank nominations in order of importance, based on organizational leadership needs and the demonstrated ability of the nominees.

Participation in the leadership program is in service of individual and organization development.

The organizational development priorities are:

Diversity

  • Creating a diverse pipeline of potential senior leaders (Diversity refers to the variety of personal experiences, values, and worldviews that arise from differences of culture and circumstance. Such differences include race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, language, abilities/disabilities, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, geographic region.)
