With three immediately actionable insights in mind, this interactive workshop will examine leadership behaviors within the context of professional, continuing, and online higher education. First, to identify and leverage personal leadership strengths, you'll complete and discuss the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment. Second, to identify the unique strengths and challenges of your organization, you'll review Excellence in Higher Education — a model for organizational assessment and improvement. Finally, you'll identify opportunities to apply your personal leadership strengths to address the needs of your organization.
