Leadership Academy
HighEdWeb debuts a Leadership Academy this October, designed to help develop the skills of those responsible for directing Web operations at their college or university via interactive learning experiences in a small group setting.
Academy participants will learn:
- What is leadership, the importance of leadership for Web professionals, and how to develop leadership skills.
- How to communicate effectively with campus administrators and stakeholders.
- How to articulate the value of the Web to obtain the appropriate staff and resources.
- An understanding of higher education organization and administration, and the implications for the Web.
- Resource management, project prioritization, and budget.
- How to manage people, including the ideal composition of a Web team, hiring practices, evaluating performance, conflict resolution and mediation.
- How to implement a Web governance structure including a Web governance framework, a comprehensive Web strategy, development of policies and standards, and development of an effective evaluation process.
The Leadership Academy will be held on October 7 and 10, in conjunction with the 2012 HighEdWeb Annual Conference. Enrollment is limited to 24 seats, so register early!
