Mid-level managers will be exposed to sessions focused on Personal Values, Strategic Thinking, Management Decision Making, Financial Management, Human Resources, Technology Development, Dealing and Developing People and Valuing Diversity. The cohort will complete an Emerging Leaders 360 leadership profile coupled with executive coaching. The group will be given an action learning case study connected with departmental sponsors and be partnered with a mentor throughout the program.
This program is part of Duke’s comprehensive and in-depth development model for staff in different career stages. Other programs based on this model include the Duke Leadership Academy and the Foundational Skills Program.
