Change agents/leaders

•It is not enough for leaders to have a vision, members of an organization must also share the vision and when they do, the organization’s ability to change and reach its potential soars▫Kouzes and Posner, 2006

Change• Change initiatives are as

likely to be derailed over disagreements about process as they are about substance (ACE, 1998-2001)

• Process is the actions and strategies that change agents/leaders employ during the planning and implementation of change (Armenakis & Bedeian, 1999)

•We are going to hear three CCI liaisons describe their individual leadership strategies and the action plans they put into place to deal with barriers to implementing their projects, i.e.,▫Faculty resistance▫Changes in leadership▫Financial constraints▫Competing priorities▫Faculty development (or lack thereof..)

will pose questions for discussion▫The questions are designed to elicit CCI

Liaison’s ideas for how to translate information gained at this meeting into “action at home”

Next Steps11:00 – 11:15 a.m.

•This time will be spent on table reports▫Yup, you guessed it! Each table will need

to assign someone to act as a reporter/recorder for the table reports
