Lear­ning from the ex­pe­ri­en­ced

Two days of peer-to-peer lear­ning for heads of German uni­ver­si­ties: On De­cem­ber 7 and 8 2023, Wübben Stif­tung Wis­sen­schaft’s newly laun­ched Pre­si­dent Coa­ching program sup­por­ted six first-time uni­ver­si­ty pre­si­dents and rectors pre­pa­ring for their lea­dership roles.

The seminar covered a host of re­le­vant topics, such as lea­dership skills, board and com­mit­tee work, com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on in lea­dership, ma­na­ging con­flic­ts, and stra­te­gic plan­ning, that were pre­sen­ted by ex­pe­ri­en­ced uni­ver­si­ty leaders. We will be running this format twice an­nu­al­ly, next in June 2024. Pre­si­dent Coa­ching is another program laun­ched by Wübben Stif­tung Wis­sen­schaft.
 
Par­ti­ci­pants of the first Pre­si­dent Coa­ching session:
Peter-André Alt, An­ge­li­ka Epple, Hauke Hee­ke­ren, Dieter Lenzen, Frauke Mel­chi­or, Eduard Mühle, Joy­bra­to Muk­her­jee, Karla Poll­mann, Thomas Puhl, Bernd Scholz-Reiter, Sascha Spoun, Anja Stein­beck, Karin Vach, Julia Wandt, Stefan Wehner

The out­stan­ding faculty that men­to­red us and the op­por­tu­ni­ty to connect and consult with peers sur­pas­sed my ex­pec­ta­ti­ons. It was an ex­cel­lent way of lear­ning from ex­pe­ri­en­ced cohorts.
