Building a strong leadership culture through the development and recognition of leadership capabilities and practices
Learning Futures is working with the Griffith community in several areas of strategic activity to build program leadership. We take an action learning approach, working in partnership with Program Leaders and colleagues from across the University to bring the strategy to life.
We have a range of activities and resources that have manifested from this partnership so far. These include the Program Directors' Leadership Series, the Program Leaders’ Network, online learning resources, action learning sets and various projects.
