Given the ever-changing landscape of higher education, mid and senior leaders are expected to effectively lead and manage different types of change efforts within their organizations. From large whole college structural change to department-level technical process changes, leaders at all levels and in a wide range of roles and functions are charged to employ skills, resources and strategies to successfully lead, manage, and sustain change activities within the diverse culture, context, and climate of their institutions. This virtual workshop provides an overview for leaders to identify and apply the key elements of change leadership. Specifically targeted for postsecondary leaders, the workshop will highlight strategies for research, reflection, and action that they can take to ensure both the success, as well as sustainability of their change projects. Learning topics will include Kezar (2018)’s key change theories and strategies in higher education and macro change framework, Kotter (2012)’s eight steps for leading change, as well as several embedding equity in change frameworks.

Mid to senior-level leaders in a wide range of roles across functional areas (administration, faculty and staff) in postsecondary higher education institutions will benefit from this content. Additionally, leaders at all levels who are tasked with leading organizational change projects within their higher education institutions are welcome.
