What core values and strengths do I have that connect with the College’s mission?
How do I use these core values and strengths to impact my productivity and the productivity of others?
As a result of the Leadership Academy, am I doing something different now to make effective contributions to the College?
“Even though I have been in an administrative position for 25 years at EPCC, I learned new things about leadership at this academy that I am now practicing. The Academy provided me with a wonderful learning experience which has given me new insight about effective leadership.”
Bobby OrtegaInstructional Dean
Comment from Administrator
“The Academy has helped me in many areas of my life. I feel more confident in the way I interact with students, colleagues and administrators. I am amazed at how what I have learned through the sessions (ways of speaking to people, conflict resolution, sharing) has actually remained in my memory! I am more aware of myself and have learned to listen instead of reacting.”
Sandra PadillaReading Faculty
Comment from Faculty
“My experience with the Leadership Academy was very fulfilling. Each workshop was very well presented. Thanks to the variety of workshops I was able to learn so much more in just one year. I also found that thanks to the presentation of the material I was able to grasp the entire information and in turn share my learning with my co-workers.”

Background
Three day site visit Interviews & Surveys –50 employees
◦Twenty-first Century Enterprise Questionnaire

Recommendations
Consultation by Cornell University Institute for Community College Development
“There is strong agreement that both faculty and staff are frequently promoted into positions where they do not have the full complement of skills required to be successful. Unfortunately, this creates a great deal of stress as people are forced to "learn on the job.”
From Interviews
“There is strong interest in the concept of a Leadership Academy. They would like this initiative to be available and accessible to all staff and faculty. Further, they would like the process to be transparent and inclusive.”
From Interviews
