Senior Leaders Cohort
We recognize that cultivating high performance begins with our leaders at the highest levels. HU Leaders must create work environments where staff can thrive and do their best work to advance HU's goals and objectives. The senior leader track will focus on building leaders' capability to create, inspire, motivate, and sustain high-performing teams. The senior leaders' program consists of monthly three-hour sessions from September 2024 through April 2025. These sessions will include a mix of exciting guest speakers and activities to help our leaders build relationships and develop their skills. In addition to these sessions, each cohort member will participate in peer group exercises and supplemental learning. Please come prepared to share best practices, refresh your knowledge palette, and learning new skills.
