Many higher education professionals find themselves in leadership roles based on subject matter expertise rather than management training. Effective leaders must understand their natural leadership style and how it aligns with their context and followers' needs. This workshop provides newly promoted managers and aspiring leaders with a strengths-based foundation for effective leadership in the unique higher education environment.

Target Audience

  • Staff professionals promoted to supervisory positions
  • Department and program directors
  • Student affairs professionals with team responsibilities
  • Anyone seeking to enhance their leadership effectiveness in higher education

Learning Objectives

Participants will develop the ability to:

  • Lead authentically using their natural strengths while building complementary skills
  • Apply Gallup's 4 Needs of Followers (trust, hope, compassion, stability) as a leadership effectiveness framework
  • Navigate the relationships inherent in higher education
  • Build and motivate diverse teams within an institutional department
  • Create inclusive environments that leverage team member strengths and build trust

This interactive workshop is ideal for professionals at all levels who want to enhance their workplace effectiveness, advance their careers, and create more fulfilling work experiences through the strategic application of their natural strengths.

A fee of $90.00 per participant will be billed to each institution, which includes parking and continental breakfast.

Parking will be provided on campus. We ask that participants follow specific parking instructions which will be emailed to all registered participants before the event. If you would like information on accessible parking spots, please contact us at amclean@rihetc.org
