Assessment process
In early March, selected ALDP participants will receive information regarding the assessment process. Participants will complete self-assessments regarding their leadership style. In addition, participants will participate in a 360 degree evaluation by asking their peers, supervisor(s) and direct reports to complete an online survey about the participant’s leadership style. Assessments will remain confidential. In April, highly skilled facilitators will help participants process the feedback to learn more about their leadership characteristics, how to develop as a leader and how to work with others across the University system to make a difference.
Note: Not all applicants can be selected for participation in the Administrative Leadership Development Program . The goal is to identify a diverse group of administrators who represent all campuses and areas and include a wide range of experience and expertise. This will be an ongoing program and all interested administrative leaders are encouraged to apply for participation in future sessions.
