Fall 2009 Seminars for Staff Speaker Series
Hamline University Staff Association Sponsored:
"Symposium on Leadership"
As part of their professional development program for staff, The Hamline University Staff Association (HUSA) will be offering a symposium on leadership. Participants will be provided with a copy of the Courageous Follower: Standing up to and for our leaders by Ira Chaleff.
The symposium will consist of four sessions facilitated by University Ombudsman, Molly McAvoy. The sessions will take place in KLAS 206 from 11:30-12:30 on October 21, November 18, December 16 and January 20. Space is limited. To register, please contact Bridget Knisely.
Symposium Description
The Courageous Follower: Standing up to and for Our Leaders examines the idea that everyone in an organization can be a leader, regardless of their job title. The book looks at the role of “followers” in organizations and offers a unique perspective on how the leader-follower relationship actually requires both sides to take a leadership role in order to be successful.
The symposium sessions will provide a forum for discussion of the key themes of the book, including the power of leader-follower dynamics, assuming responsibility, and challenging our leaders. Participants will engage in a variety of activities to enhance and inform their work at Hamline, including practice in giving feedback and input to a leader, influencing your work culture, establishing communication strategies, and creating realistic expectations.
The readings will be very manageable and easily applied to participant’s actual work at Hamline.

VISION & PURPOSE
The staff of Hamline University strive for excellence in service to the university's students, faculty, fellow staff members, and the community at large. The staff play an essential role in supporting the university's mission of creating "a diverse and collaborative community of learners dedicated to the development of students' knowledge values, and skills for successful lives of leadership, scholarship, and service." The purpose of the Hamline University Staff Association is to enhance the work environment and represent the interests and concerns of staff in the overall governance structure of the university.
Therefore, HUSA serves to enhance work performance by building community in the following ways:
- facilitating staff input and feedback in university policies;
- providing a voice of advocacy for staff interests;
- encouraging communication among staff, administration, faculty and students;
- promoting professional development opportunities for all staff members
- maintaining a commitment to diversity by encouraging and supporting staff development that includes diversity in all of its forms, by showing support for hiring and retaining staff who are members of historically or otherwise underrepresented groups, and by providing support to all staff so we may work in an inclusive environment that is free of all forms of harassment, hostility, and violence.
