The Duke Leadership Academy curriculum is based upon best practices from Fuqua/COLE Leadership Model, and management and leadership styles and behaviors.  The program is highly interactive and provides opportunities to discuss leadership principles and experiences with senior leaders and then apply the learning to current organizational challenges. Learning will be in the form of classroom education, 360 assessment, and coaching to help leaders make significant differences at Duke.

Upon completion of the program you will:

• understand critical behaviors for successful leadership
• demonstrate your leadership behaviors in real work that is important to you
• gain a deeper appreciation of some Duke challenges and consider plans to address them
• create your own learning and development plan

The Duke Leadership Academy is partnering with the Fuqua/Coach K Center on Leadership & Ethics (COLE) to provide leadership development best practices for Duke University’s academic and administrative leaders. Through this dynamic partnership, the leadership academy leverages the intellectual resources and practical experiences of leaders to support excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement at the individual, team, and organizational levels as it focuses on effectively recognizing, developing, and retaining talent.

Organizing Framework
