What Makes Gravitational Leadership Unique?
Gravitational Leadership is based on the AACC Competencies for Community College Leaders.
Using those competencies as the foundation, ICCD has developed a complete assessment and professional development program designed to identify and develop leadership potential.
It's designed to develop individual leadership potential.
If you are looking to improve your leadership skills or the skills of someone in your college, Gravitational Leadership offers a focused approach. First, a 360° Assessment of your current leadership strengths, then a focused "prescription" for what areas need improvement, then targeted programs designed to improve your abilities in critical areas.
It's designed to develop organizational leadership potential.
More and more, colleges must find leaders within their organizations, people with the capacity to implement critical new programs and initiatives. Gravitational Leadership offers an assessment of leadership potential throughout your college, identifies areas where professional development is needed, and offers on-site training to develop your potential leaders.
Gravitational Leadership Training has three main components and a core set of universal skills:
Organizational Integrity: Creating the Principled College
Advocacy: Creating a Resilient College
Resource Development: Creating the Abundant College
The Core: Communication, Collaboration,
Professionalism, and Ethics
Click on each for a brief description.
Each area of Gravitational Leadership offers a wide variety of competencies that a modern leader will need to master. Together, they encompass a balanced, grounded approach to leadership that prepares future leaders and enhances existing ones.
In January 2007 ICCD will introduce the complete Gravitational Leadership program. Please check back for more details, or contact Barbara Viniar, ICCD's Executive Director, by email or at (607) 255.9259.
