Meet Chapter Author Nancy Floyd at Minnesota State Colleges and Universities!   In Nancy’s chapter, she shares her accreditation expertise in Delivering Facts for Progress. Leadership roles require tough conversations to be had and difficult things that need to be said. Many times the data show decisions that can no longer be avoided. This chapter discusses and provides examples of delivering hard-to-hear and overlooked information so that resources are not wasted. Developing the skillset of having difficult but constructive conversations is critical for accreditation success.    Learn more -- coming summer 2024.    About the book: In today's fast-paced and ever-changing higher education landscape, institutions face increasing demands for excellence, innovation, and improved outcomes.

"Why does work feel more challenging to me than my peers?" If you've ever asked yourself that question, you may be a First-Generation Professional (FGP). There are many thousands of FGPs in the world who have never thought of themselves that way before. But once the concept is introduced to them, it's like all the puzzle pieces come together. It explains why building a network feels like such a heavy lift and contextualizes the need to learn an entirely new language to navigate a foreign work culture. If you're the first person in your family to work in a professional capacity, we want to hear from you. At Baem Leadership, we're dedicated to supporting and engaging FGPs throughout their careers. Our research findings will help companies with talent-retention efforts for early-career FGP employees and help them identify and develop FGPs already in their ranks.

While this report is about higher education presidents, I'm confident that the findings apply across different industries and levels of leadership. Content knowledge and technical skill are the price of admission...and leaders who last complement them with "soft skills"--personal and interpersonal skills--like those articulated in this document. If you'd like to discuss how any of these findings might be relevant to you or your organization, let me know. Whether you are in higher education or another industry, I'd love to help you get clear about your journey and get moving down the road!

❓ Is Academic Leadership an opportunity or impediment to your career? This was the topic of a rich discussion with our esteemed panellists across #HigherEducation today. It was great to see so many of you take part from across the sector and add your questions and insights to the discussion. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us live and our fantastic panellists - Professor Stephen Tong, Sara Corcoran, Professor Sally Jackson, Monica Greco and Professor Jane Roscoe. The range of discussion points we covered in just under an hour was vast: 💡 From what it really takes to step into a more strategic role and the skills, attitudes and motivations needed to succeed. 💡 To what universities and leaders need to do to support those rotating in or stepping up to the Head of role in a meaningful way. 💡 We also discussed the big challenges coming up, the need to make hard decisions ethically and responsibly, and the things Heads of can do to support themselves compassionately - as it is a broad and sometimes tough role. A role that really requires a different skill set. 📽 If you registered, the replay will be on its way to you later this afternoon.
