Academic
Leadership
Professional development of all employees is necessary
for the growth of any organization - FHSU included. Over the past
few years FHSU has been able to find and develop new talent as new
Deans and Chairs. Training and developing emerging leaders is crucial
to their effectiveness, and continuous updating of the knowledge
resource of already high contributors produces high performing organizations.
Two years ago a team of Deans and Chairs worked to develop a series of short
workshops. The result of those discussions was the
Dean
and Chair Orientation series. While the
Dean
and Chair Orientation was
primarily designed for new personnel, existing Deans and Chairs found some topics
very useful, and they attended many of the sessions. Every effort has been to
made to make sure that new Deans and Chairs have the information they need before
they need it, so timing is everything. The continuing purpose of the Academy
of Academic Leadership is to facilitate knowledge sharing of critical administrative
processes and to contribute to effective leadership practice.
It is our intention and practice to make sure that initial and continuous orientation
is institutionalized into the culture of FHSU. We intend to make the series of
Academic Leadership topics ongoing and have arranged to archive the presentations
and make them available to new Chairs and Deans in the future. Part of the benefit
of these sessions is to provide stronger leadership in implementing the Year
of the Department when departments are asked to study their essential curriculum
review processes. I have high hopes that we can thrust the University forward
into exciting opportunities as we continue our implementation of the Year of
the Department in 2006-2007.
Sincerely,
Larry Gould
