The Center for Executive Education Leadership (CEEL) Superintendents' Strand consists of three sessions that have been designed to support you in your professional and personal growth. Participants may register for all three sessions at a special price or may register for each individual session.

Because the Work of Leaders' Session includes an assessment, the deadline for registration is September 13, 2024.

Descriptions for each session are listed below:

The Work of Leaders: What Does the Research Say?

October 15, 2024

The work that leaders do—that really matters—is comprised of three primary areas of action: crafting a vision, building alignment, and championing execution. This session focuses on each area, separately providing information on the research-based tangible behaviors and best practices required to truly lead and effectively influence others to achieve significant goals.

It Worked for Me in Life and Leadership (Book Study)

December 4, 2024

In book study format, participants will discover and discuss in small teams the principles that shaped the life and career of one of America’s most admired public figures, General Colin Powell, USA (Ret.).  At its heart the study will reveal Powell’s 13 Rules, notes he gathered over the years that ultimately formed the basis of his leadership presentations.  His short but sweet rules, including “Get mad, then get over it” and “Share credit,” are illustrated by revealing personal stories that introduce and expand upon what he believed were the most important principles: conviction, hard work, and respect for others.

A few weeks prior to the session, you will be receiving the book It Worked for Me in Life and Leadership, by Colin Powell, to prepare for your participation. 

Leading People Through Change

February 27, 2025

This session is designed to improve the senior leader’s effectiveness in both change management and change leadership. Unfortunately, many employees suffer when leaders fail to understand the stages employees go through during a change.  The simple truth is that understanding these stages leads to faster and more effective change efforts. Focusing on communication, collaboration, and commitment helps to ensure that your senior leadership team, middle-level leaders, and the wider district organization are fully aligned with your change efforts, thereby yielding the results that matter.
