Academic Leadership: Fundamental Building Blocks
x
Program Format
These academic leadership workshops are designed to assist you in triangulating your
perceptions of your capabilities, your significant colleagues’ perceptions of your
capabilities and the demands of the academic leadership role – within the context of the
Integrated Competing Values Framework (ICVF; see Figure 1). The ICVF is a
managerial leadership development tool that provides a framework for isolating the
different types of skills and knowledge required of your academic leadership role and
your strengths and weaknesses in relation to them. Each of the roles in the ICVF is
interdependent, and it is how you and your significant colleagues see how these
interplay that forms the basis of your leadership analysis. Consequently, the role of the
Integrator is the most important as it is the skill that enables you to examine these
interconnections and interplays. It is the role you should spend most time on. The
Integrator role will be dealt with more fully in Chapter 6.
