Leadership

Leadership skills are an essential ingredient in the development of new curricula, the integration of education activities within the structure and function of academic organizations and systems, the mentoring of colleagues, and the negotiation and management of conflicts. This unit will provide the CE with the theoretical framework and practical skills that he or she will require to implement the activities planned in other units.
