The FSU Faculty Leadership Development Program (LDP) is designed to offer leadership training to faculty across the university and at different stages of their professional journeys. The program is based in part on the philosophy that leadership development is an ongoing, never-ending process, and is important whether one is in a designated leadership "position" or not. The program was created and is directed by Dr. Norman Anderson, Assistant Vice President for Research and Academic Affairs, and Research Professor of Social Work and Nursing.
Other Programs
In addition to the LDP for Department Chairs, we also offer a variety of short courses for faculty members interested in leadership development. These short courses can be from one to four sessions, typically lasting two hours each. For example, a four-session short course on The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership was provided for the leadership team of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (the "Mag Lab") in 2018. The following are some additional examples of short courses that will be offered from time to time:
- Leadership Development for Emerging Leaders;
- Leadership Development for Center, Institute, and Program Directors;
- Emotional Intelligence and Academic Leadership;
- Inclusion, Diversity, and Leadership; and
- Mindful Leadership
