“The course significantly improved my confidence and my ability to take on the role of head of department: I had been very dubious about it beforehand, but both the facilitators and the participants taught me a lot about my strengths and about the role..” |
Heads of Department Series in Scotland (HoDS) is designed to engage and assist those facing the operational challenges associated with the leadership of academic, research and support teams. The programme draws on recent research by the Leadership Foundation on the work of heads of department in order to focus on individualised consideration – paying attention to followers’ needs, recognising personal differences and encouraging potential. HoDS aims to strengthen the capacity of heads of department to perform their roles confidently and effectively in Scottish HEIs.
