Topic: Leading Change in Higher Education Today
Description: Over the last several years with the myriad of challenges facing public higher education leaders, institutions have had to quickly pivot to new policies and practices to support their students and institutions. Additionally, college leaders have been tasked with developing new skills to lead during these times of great change. This session will focus on an overview of the Kotter 8-Step Process for Leading Change (https://www.kotterinc.com/8-step-process-for-leading-change/) and how the steps can be used by leaders in public higher to better serve colleges and students. We will focus on specific examples of leading change across systems and institutions, as well as provide an opportunity for attendees to share their experiences and add to the collective community leading change.
