The University of Arizona has ambitious aspirations that require innovative
thinking and extraordinary leadership. To build this capacity, President
Shelton secured a generous donation in 2010 to establish the UA Academic
Leadership Institute. The success of the program has led us to renew the
commitment so that we can invest in the professional development of another
cohort of faculty leaders, academic and administrative department heads,
associate and assistant deans, and other emerging leaders.

 

Applications are due April 22.  Candidates may apply for the program or be
nominated by a dean or vice president.  For more information, visit

The Institute includes retreats spread out over the academic year along with
breakfast meetings to network with business and community leaders.  I
encourage you and your colleagues to apply.

 

Building Your Personal Leadership Profile (August 11-12, 2011)
What does it take to be a leader?  What kind of leaders does the University
need?  What kind of leader are you?  In this retreat you will discuss traits
of effective leadership, analyze the University's leadership needs, and
learn research-based approaches to critical leadership competencies.

 

Achieving Agreements (September 30, 2011)
How do individuals' approaches to conflict help them move organizations
forward?  How does your leadership style influence your ability to build
coalitions and launch new initiatives?  In this retreat you will explore
your approaches to conflict and learn tools to create a more productive
organization.

 

Cultivating Allies and Expanding Influence (November 18, 2011)
To exercise influence, you need to understand others' motivations, be able
to build networks, and work through resistance.  In this retreat you will
assess the ways you exercise influence and learn strategies to build
commitment and coalitions.

 

Creativity and Innovation (January 27, 2012)
Creativity is about imagining new ideas, and innovation depends involving
others in making creative use of changing situations. In this retreat, you
will gain insights into how to foster creativity and learn how to create an
organizational culture that fosters innovation.

 

Practical Applications of Leadership (April 20, 2012)
Using a case study approach, you will work on applying leadership skills to
some of the challenges facing higher education today.  You will learn how to
recognize opportunities, overcome challenges in your unit, and identify
possibilities for results-oriented collaborations with other units.

 

Four Community Connections Breakfasts (September 9, October 14, February 24,
and March 30)
These breakfasts will provide opportunities to confer with business,
community, and campus leaders to consider the constraints and opportunities
facing the University in particular areas.
