Leading, Managing, Supporting, and Navigating Change

The American Council on Education advanced leadership workshops first launched in 2006, are designed for academic administrators and experienced chairs. Participants have included alumni from the national programs, other experienced chairs and a range of administrators including deans and provosts. In 2009 ACE will offer two advanced workshops: Leading, Managing, Supporting and Navigating Change; and Managing Conflict.

These programs focus intensively on an overarching issue that affects institutions at both the departmental and institutional levels. Essential to the philosophy of the program is to bring together participants from disparate structural levels to deal with issues that affect the functioning of the whole institution in a fundamental manner.

The 2009 workshop will be held at the historic Allerton Hotel, on Chicago's magic mile.

The faculty for this workshop will be ACE's veteran presenters: Susan West Engelkemeyer, Mary Lou Higgerson, and Mark Putnam. The workshop structure will enable participants to work in teams to learn how to exert leadership to guide the change process. Participants will examine to what degree is change a process that needs to be managed and to what degree does it require support from leaders? How do all the stakeholders, including the designated leaders manage the process?
