Description
Does the success of a Strategic Enrollment Management plan come from an organization’s structure or its culture? While most institutions have reorganized units or created a division charged with enrollment management, many have found that the restructuring has had little effect on the enrollment at their institution. Turf wars and allegiances to established procedures, defense of budgets, a lack of cooperation and a lack of vision often doom enrollment management efforts before they ever begin. In short, culture eats strategy for breakfast!
Effectively implementing an enrollment management culture requires strong leadership and a commitment to transformational change. In The Leadership Challenge, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner outline five practices that effective leaders employ that enable their organizations and the people in them to achieve extraordinary results. They approach leadership as a measurable, learnable, and teachable set of behaviors. “After conducting hundreds of interviews, reviewing thousands of case studies, and analyzing more than two million survey questionnaires to understand those times when leaders performed at their personal best, there emerged five practices common to making extraordinary things happen. The Five Practices are: Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart.”
In this session participants will learn more about each of the five practices, and how each practice translates to higher education. They will learn how the practices encourages, empowers and elevates their people to be successful. They will learn how lead their division or campus to embrace an enrollment management culture. More importantly, attendees will learn that leadership isn’t just about positional authority, it is about influence. They will learn how to lead from where they are, regardless of their position in the institution. The presenter will translate these practices to higher education, sharing examples that are common on campuses everywhere.
