What is the contribution of #leadership to address #societal #questions? 🌍 How can #interdisciplinary and #transdisciplinary #research and #cooperation advance leadership? 🎓 What are the new and #innovative ways and perspectives to study and #educate leadership? How can we advance #public leadership together to make an #impact? 🔊 This week we had our first Leiden University-wide interdisciplinary #symposium on leadership #research, #education, #development and #impact organized by the Leiden Leadership Centre. With an inspiring keynote Alex Maas of the Algemene Bestuursdienst of Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken, we learned about #bridging #science and #practice in the development of public leadership in the #civil #service: "To address complex societal issues we need to develop our knowledge of how leadership can be shared." Researchers 🔎 , teachers 📚 , leadership consultants 🪜 , managers 🛗 and grant advisors 🧲 from 4 faculties, central services, and 12 institutes, departments and programmes shared their expertise in various workshops to explore new ways of collaborating in the field of leadership.

Do you have a Head of Department who is trying to protect your research time as a new research leader? I guess this can be hard to do as a head of department. How much should new research leaders be protected from the madness of the academic turmoil? Most will tell you that their work allocation is an alternative reality but certainly not the one they experience each day. Being supported by their line managers is not something you hear often from early career academics. It was great to hear from Thushan de Silva that his head department had really encouraged him to have more protected research time when he started as a Clinical Academic, giving him the space to build his research niche and collaboration, and settling in his role. That early stage in building a research portfolio and team is so precious. Getting new research leaders to have the best chance to be successful. If you are managing early career academics and research fellows, what are you doing to help them thrive in setting up their research group?

The challenges facing the UK higher education sector are well documented. Our research, which is based on publicly available data from HESA: Higher Education Statistics Agency and Office for Students focuses on a range of key performance indicators, including financial sustainability, growth, B3 thresholds, widening participation, quality and student satisfaction. These are the KPIs that university executive teams should be evaluating on an ongoing basis. Our performance 'dashboards' are available at a university level and also by Mission Group and region. We have also evaluated the relative performance of private universities. For further details, please get in touch directly. #Education #HigherEducation #Univeristies #CILInsights #Research

6th Annual NASPAA & ICPA-Forum/JCPA Workshop-- Call Open, Proposals due Tomorrow!! Do your classes systematically compare and teach students how to engage in comparative analysis—whether of issues, programs, agencies, levels, branches, types of government, and countries—in the field of public affairs? Are you interested in writing a short paper about your teaching experiences, and getting in-depth feedback from peers to better prepare the paper for publication? Co-convened by Susan Appe (University at Albany, SUNY) and Sean McCandless (The University of Texas at Dallas) this workshop (11am-4pm) considers the ways in which effective governance in the public and nonprofit sectors demand a comparative perspective, especially to evaluate how and why similarities and differences in contexts, cultures, leadership, management, structures, and more matter. We adopt a “big tent” approach to explore and assess how comparative lenses are being applied and used in our MPA and MPP curricula. Learn More: https://lnkd.in/ekJ-icSQ https://lnkd.in/eSMKXXwd
