UNE Staff Leadership Program
The UNE Staff Leadership Program is designed to develop the technical and interpersonal skills of workplace leaders in the context of Australian universities. The program consists of a structured series of eight three-hour workshops between March and October of each year. Workshops are presented by invited speakers from among senior UNE staff, typically acknowledged leaders in their field with excellent presentation and facilitation skills.
The overall goals of the program are to build leadership networks at UNE and to promote the personal development of self-selecting leaders.
