New Leadership Program in 2008 - ‘Leadership in Action’

Leadership in Action is an exciting new program designed to increase the capability of senior leaders specifically in the areas of managing people and strategic thinking.  This initiative has been endorsed by the Vice-Chancellor as part of an overall Leadership & Management Development Approach that has been designed to facilitate the development of Monash leaders and support the University’s vision, strategic and performance objectives as outlined in Monash 2025.
The aims of the program are to:

• build individual leadership capability to support the University's research, teaching, international and engagement agenda
• provide a range of practical tools and frameworks to support ongoing development and build a positive healthy performance based culture
• allow participants the opportunity to build a leadership network with colleagues from across the University
• explore strategies to resolve critical leadership dilemmas
• enable leaders to take time out to reflect on their leadership contribution

The program has been designed in conjunction with the Leadership and Management Development Reference Group and targets current and future aspiring Monash leaders (Academic Level C and above and HEW10 and above).   Participation requires the following commitment:
