FORWARD is scheduled to host a full-day leadership workshop on Thursday, March 15, to help develop current and future leaders at NDSU. FORWARD began accepting faculty nominations from academic deans in January.

The facilitators, Claudia Plaisted Fernandez and Ruben Fernandez, are from Fast Track Leadership and are involved with many universities for executive leadership development efforts. The leadership workshop program will develop participants’ skills in creating and sustaining an organizational culture that catalyzes teamwork, promotes innovation and thought diversity, constructively and smoothly manages change and conflict, and engages employees. The workshop will address how people think, how they react, what motivates them, how they make decisions, how they respond to time and pace of an organization, what engages employees and how leaders can leverage personal change. The goal will be to develop insights, tools and skills for academic leaders to engage, lead and motivate colleagues.
