LEAD21

Program Description

LEAD21 is intended to meet the future needs for leadership development of faculty, specialists, program and team leaders, research station and center directors, district and regional directors, department heads and chairs, and others in land grant universities’ colleges of agricultural, environmental, and human sciences and USDA/NIFA.

The primary purpose of LEAD21 is to develop leaders in land grant institutions and their strategic partners who link research, academics, and extension in order to lead more effectively in an increasingly complex environment, either in their current position or as they aspire to other positions.

Participation in LEAD21 over the last ten years has spanned the country.

Objectives

• Enhance application of skills and knowledge learned in five core, and four secondary leadership competencies.
• Develop a peer leadership network in order to enhance personal leadership practice, collaboration, and diversity of perspective.
• Develop and implement an individual leadership development process.
