Executive Leadership Development Program 2008

Intensive Training for Leaders in International Education

July 13-18, 2008

This week-long, intensive program allows leaders in international education to develop the leadership skills necessary for advancing the international education agenda in complex campus environments. Limited to 35 participants, the program draws on expert faculty from around the country and is a highly interactive experience with lectures, small group work, and individual readings.

Designed by upper-level NAFSAns in conjunction with the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management, the program focuses on six topics that form the core of the discussions:

• Influencing systems in complex organizations
• Strategic thinking
• Implementing and sustaining change
• Managing conflict
• Decision-making and risk-taking
• Leadership and action planning

Who Should Attend

The Executive Leadership Development Program is appropriate for deans, directors, and mid-career managers who deal in complex problem solving, who contribute to campus strategy. The program is also very valuable for faculty members or former foreign service members who are about to take on an administrative role on campus and need to enhance their communication and management skills.
