Navigating Higher Education Leadership in Uncertain Times

Today’s uncertainties require next-level leadership in higher education institutions. Understand key practices and skills that will help you and your institution to adapt and grow through uncertainty and change.

  • Empowering with Change Leadership: Understand the process of adaptive problem solving—how to engage your people to co-create solutions for your unit or institution that solve seemingly unsolvable challenges and create forward momentum.
