The Leadership Development Program is an integrated approach to developing and strengthening competencies. Participants spend an average of 15 hours per month on program activities. Two sessions with a professional development coach are provided as part of the program. Senior campus leaders identify high-impact projects requiring analytical work, and serve as sponsors for the projects. Participants work in project teams, complete the analysis and report and prepare a presentation for the sponsors.
Participants converse with key individuals in campus leadership positions.
Participation in LDP is an expression of interest in self-development and in no way obligates the University to provide special recruiting considerations or placement in another position. However, senior campus leaders place a high value on participation in the program. Through LDP, the University will gain a pool of managers and professionals prepared for the increased challenges of the new century. Thank you for contributing to Berkeley's excellence. The major program funding is provided by a grant from the Office of the President and the Office of Human Resources.
