Academic Leadership Development within the University Sector by Dissemination of a Web-based 360° Feedback Process and Related Professional Development Workshops

Tricia Vilkinas, Rick Ladyshewsky
University of South Australia
2011
University of South Australia

The overall goal of this project was to develop the capacity of academic developers to build leadership capacity in their respective universities, in particular at the level of front-line staff, such as academic program directors, who often deal directly with students. This report describes the provision of leadership development opportunities for these groups during two workshops using the Integrated Competing Values Framework leadership model. As part of the action learning approach adopted, participants designed and implemented development programs for academics within their institutions. Recommendations for institutions and other resources form part of the report.

The Facilitator Guide focuses on the processes used by those developing academic leadership programs and includes information about conducting a 360° survey feedback process, conducting leadership workshops, embedding academic leadership within a university, developing Personal Action Plans, and issues that may be encountered. The Guide draws upon information developed in the projects, 'Improving the Leadership Capability of Academic Coordinators in Postgraduate and Undergraduate Programs in Business' and 'Academic Leadership: Fundamental Building Blocks'.
