Teams & Issues: Leadership Development Team
Focus
The VOICES of the Staff Leadership Development team will focus on identifying and developing innovative approaches that promote leadership development as a strategy for positive impact on employee engagement. This strategy will promote and foster effective and productive working relationships between employees and supervisors, and the engagement of leaders at all levels within the University environment.
Objectives
To explore and engage around the selected topic of Leadership Development by:
- Listening to the experiences of staff and supervisors; identifying challenges and opportunities to help build positive outcomes and experiences for the U-M community.
- Providing advice about how best to address the disconnect between employees and leaders at all levels and how best to leverage leadership opportunities throughout the university so that employees can experience “leaders walking the talk.”
- Learning about the current best practices in leadership development.
- Understanding the current U-M approaches to leadership development and the strengths and limitation of these approaches.
- Providing input and feedback on best practices for training programs and succession planning.
- Serving as a sounding board for new initiatives or strategies.
