INNOVATION The opportunity for innovation is without boundaries. The area of leadership is rich with new ways to identify, encourage, develop and reward leaders. By contrast, innovation in governance and organization at WT is a little more challenging, but not without opportunity. EFFECTIVE UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP We will invest in consistent programs that identify, support and retain effective current and future University leaders among University administrators, faculty, staff, students and volunteers. We will select University leaders to develop efficacy through participation in evidence-based leadership development programs and trainings, encourage and support continuing leadership development, and identify and support external

opportunities for leadership development. We will use current high-performing University leaders to coordinate and lead internal leadership development initiatives and obtain metrics related to alumni engagement and number of volunteers involved to determine effectiveness of leadership development activities. TRUST We will create a culture of trust among internal and external University stakeholders through open, honest and direct communication. Insist upon open and public dialogue in matters pertaining to strategic decision making. Elicit input from existing University bodies that represents and protects the interests of internal and external stakeholders (e.g., Staff Council, Faculty Senate, Student Government, Alumni Association).
