HEDLD 502 - Skills for Academic Teambuilding, Communication, and Ethical Decisionmaking

Skills for Academic Teambuilding, Communication, and Ethical Decisionmaking Interdependence is a tricky business. In spite of their best efforts, inevitably faculty and staff who depend on one another still run into surprising and often unpleasant situations. (It is often said, 'I'd do just fine at work if it weren't for other people.') Learn how to handle these situations constructively, in ways that actually facilitate increased productivity and improved relationships. In addition, learn how to use these difficult situations (they happen even in the best organizations) as diagnostic guideposts to bring about constructive change in your department. This course, part of the certificate series in higher education leadership offered by the Intermountain Academy for Leadership in Higher Education, is structured around case studies, which are based on interviews with faculty and staff in higher education.
