Purpose
The B&F Leadership Academy focuses on developing the leadership competencies and capacities necessary for future senior leaders in Business and Finance.
The Leadership Academy engages a cohort of 24 mid-level managers in experiential learning and developmental exercises which take place over 10 months in eleven classroom sessions and include reflection, coaching, a capstone project and generative interviews of campus leaders.
This program focuses on the B&F leadership competencies, especially four deemed priorities by B&F Senior Staff:
- Leadership /Achievement Orientation
- Flexibility / Adaptability / Leading Change
- Creative Problem Solving / Strategic Thinking
- Quality of Service
A central theme of the Academy is appreciation of the unique challenges of managing within the context of higher education.
