School Superintendents Program to Cover Leadership Skills for Change

Feb 1-2, New Orleans, Led by Cambridge Leadership Associates


CAMBRIDGE, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 1, 2006 -- "The Challenge of Leading Change in our Schools," a program for school superintendents who grapple with the challenges of leading significant change in their districts, will be held by Cambridge Leadership Associates on February 1-2, 2007 in New Orleans.

Based on CLA's leadership-development work with school superintendents across the country, the program will give participants the opportunity learn about and practice the skills of Adaptive Leadership™.

Participants will have a hands-on opportunity to learn, practice and apply the tools and skills of Adaptive Leadership. The program will provide the knowledge, strategies and skills school superintendents need to lead their districts through the difficult process of change.

Through presentations, exercises and small-group work, attendees will develop the skills that will enable them to strengthen their ability to face internal resistance while implementing major changes, identify and address the deep adaptive challenges that keep their district from moving forward, exert bold and effective leadership to bring disparate stakeholders together to shape lasting solutions, and manage personal vulnerabilities.

"If you're being asked to do more with fewer resources, to solve problems that have no known solutions or find it difficult to lead on behalf of the things you care about most, this program is for you," said Dr. Lee Teitel of Cambridge Leadership Associates and Harvard University.

The program is open to all school superintendents. Enrollment is limited to 50 participants.

The cost of the program is $1500, including all meals.
