Leadership Development Programs

In 2004 and 2005, PDLM partnered with the Linkage Corporation to provide a summer leadership development program for managers in the Higher Education Officer Series. The 2004 program, entitled Leading as a Manager, introduced managers to leadership practices for managing and communicating change, developing alternate solutions to workplace problems, and networking across organizational boundaries. A second Linkage leadership development program, The Power of Motivational Management, was presented in the summer of 2005.
In 2003 and 2004, the Professional Development Office worked with the Chancellor's Office, University Academic Affairs, the General Counsel's Office, the Office of Labor Relations (OLR), and Cornell University's Institute for Community College Development to design and coordinate the first sessions of CUNY's Department Chair Leadership Program. Academic department chairs examined the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to manage a modern academic department.
