Coaching vice-chancellors
Universities are complex institutions, with multiple internal and external stakeholders, each with their own expectations of how to behave and how to interact. PHOTO | SHUTTERSTOCK
Last October I was invited to be one of the facilitators at a British Council-sponsored induction workshop for the newly appointed vice-chancellors (VCs) and principals of public universities, and recently I was invited to play a similar role at a leadership training workshop for all the VCs and principals of the public universities. My topic in October was 'Transformative Leadership and Integrity', and this time round I was asked to talk about 'Strategies for Enhancing Organisational Culture', with Equity Bank’s James Mwangi handling my earlier topic.
The theme of the October workshop was 'Developing Visionary and Effective University Leaders', while the more recent one being on 'Developing Strategic, Focused and Results-Oriented University Leaders'.
