Who You Are:

If you are you are a new or burgeoning Department Chair, Center or Institute Director, Associate Dean, or aspiring faculty leader who is struggling with transitioning into a leadership role, I would love to work with you!

Perhaps you are a new or established Dean, Associate Provost, or Provost who wishes to maximize the potential of the staff in your care by pivoting from established top-down command-and-control structures to a contemporary supportive, trusting, and people-centric leadership culture at all levels. I can assist you in achieving these goals!

Or you may be a college or university-level administrator struggling with high staff turnover, weak team cohesion and effectiveness, operational inefficiencies, ossified managerial structures, a lack of succession planning, or an overly political institutional culture that stifles innovative potential at all levels.

Let me support you in making a real and sustainable difference at your institution!

How I Can Help:

I will support and guide you to

• establish yourself as a respected and effective leader of both academic and professional/non-academic staff;
• transition from faculty or non-academic staff positions into leadership or supervisory roles and both understand and embrace your (new) role and impact on your organization and its people;
• build your capacity to develop invaluable, positive, and productive working relationships across silos and functions through active listening, flexing to others’ needs and working styles, and maintaining a systems-based perspective of how individual contributors impact the institution;
• pivot from a traditional management mindset and become an agile, people-centric, and complexity-conscious servant leader who brings out the best in their staff;
• build a culture of learning, growth, innovation, and empowerment that maximizes cost savings by increasing retention and morale among your academic and non-academic professionals;
• stand up strong, empowered, and agile teams capable of responding to ongoing change, expectations, and institutional demands;
• imagine and execute strategies for organizational change that best serve and empower your entire faculty and non-academic staff community while reaching established cost savings and efficiency targets.
