Spheres of Faculty Leadership
In the academic meta-profession, faculty inhabit a complex array of responsibilities, deadlines, roles, identities, requests, and opportunities - all of it requiring expert level performance on tasks of significant consequence.
Spheres of Faculty Leadership describes and explores this terrain and the arenas of experience and spheres of influence that affect how faculty navigate choices about their career and leadership path.
The course promotes individual insight through The 4 Spheres Tool, originally developed in collaboration with ADVANCE at the University of Michigan, to help clarify both shorter-term and longer-term choices and to develop an intentional and satisfying career path.
This course may involve interaction and discussion with other participants or interaction with professional development experts. Interactions with Kardia Group experts may include coaching; the confidentiality clauses associated with coaching in the terms and conditions for this site apply.
While this course may be completed on its own, it also serves as the foundation for Clarifying My Leadership Path, a facilitated Kardia Group program. Contact learn@kardiagroup.com for more information.
