The deadline for Leadership Saint Leo 2017 applications is November 30!
The Leadership Saint Leo program began in 2005 to expand leadership capacity, build culture, and create a common leadership lexicon across the entire university, including our education centers, online offices, and University Campus. Approximately 95 of our active leaders have graduated from the program, having met every month for ten months for an all-day workshop that incorporates a variety of lecture, discussion, case study, and experiential activities.
In the past, nominations for participation were discussed among the President’s Staff, and the agreed-upon employees were invited by the president to apply. This year, however, we are expanding the opportunity to participate by instituting a self-nomination process! So if you believe your participation in the 2017 cohort of Leadership Saint Leo will benefit your professional growth and leadership skills, we encourage you to contact the Office of Professional Development at professionaldev@saintleo.edu to request an application.
Supervisors, though the process has changed, this does not exclude a certain type of nomination from you. If you have in mind employees who meet the criteria for participation and are ready to take the next step in their leadership development, please talk to them about the program and encourage them to apply. Indeed, this may very well be the best way to ensure the self-nomination process succeeds!
Please note that by opening the process of selection to self-nomination, we expect a large number of applicants for a limited number of positions in the program. Not all employees who apply will be accepted to participate. Before requesting an application from the Office of Professional Development, please consider the following criteria for successful participation:
- All participants must be full-time, exempt employees.
- All self-nominees must have been employed by Saint Leo University before November 1, 2014.
- All applications must be signed by the employee’s direct supervisor and divisional vice president.
- Because of the intensive nature of the program, participants must possess the self-discipline and motivation to complete the work required by the program and may forfeit their participation if they miss more than two sessions during the program year.
- All participants should exhibit a desire to be lifelong learners as aspiring leaders and to advance their professional knowledge and skills, along with an understanding that they are responsible, as students, to ensure that their own learning is meaningful and rewarding.
We thank you for your interest in the program. All applications are due by November 30. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Professional Development at professionaldev@saintleo.edu.
