Facilitator: Dr. Angela Lumpkin (Professor and Department Chair, Kinesiology & Sport Management)
This two-hour workshop, which includes lunch, will have two primary foci—the characteristics required for leaders to be successful and the development of efficacious leadership skills and abilities. The characteristics of effective leaders include knowing what their values are and committing to living by and leading through their core values. Successful leaders are people of integrity, trustworthy, self-aware, credible, competent, self-motivated with initiative, positive or optimistic, passionate, approachable, accountable, and decisive. Leadership development requires making relational commitments, nurturing mutual respect and trust, using communication skills including active listening, displaying emotional intelligence encompassing managing ourselves and our relationships effectively, implementing a service orientation, employing others through delegation, managing conflict, and inspiring forward thinking and actions. During this workshop participants will increase their knowledge about and the importance of the effective traits of successful leaders as well as gain insights into the leadership skills and abilities they need to learn, apply, and expand. In small groups, participants will explore real-world scenarios that will help them gain greater self-awareness of their values and beliefs that reveal who they are and what their strengths and areas of improvement may be.
*This workshop is designed for current or aspiring Department Chairs, Area Coordinators, or School Directors as well as faculty members serving in associate roles to these positions and faculty interested in advancing into leadership positions on campus.
