Florida Leadership Academy

In November 2006, 10 administrators and professionals received their Certificate of Completion for the Florida Leadership Academy hosted by Maricopa Community College. 

The program was presented in a 10 day format scheduled into two, one week sessions over an entire year.  A year long practicum was experienced between the two sessions where each participant worked with a self selected mentor for support, guidance and feedback of their Individualized Professional Development Plan.

Some of the topics included:

• Complex Role of the Organizational Leader
• Leadership Assessments: Academy Surveys
• Leading and Managing Effective Teams and Work Groups
• Strategic Planning and Scenario Thinking
• Managing Conflict Productively and Engaging in Crucial Conversations
• Appreciating Diversity
• Balance of Leadership and Management
• Building Effective Work Teams
• Leader as Manager
• Hiring and Orienting for Excellence
• Coaching and Developing for Exemplary Performance Outcomes
• Recognizing and Celebrating Values and Victories
• Leading Part-Time Staff

We thank Florida Community College for supporting professional development!
