Senior Leadership Teams in Colleges of Education: Call for Participation in Research
Are you a dean of a college of education who leads a senior leadership team (SLT)? Have you ever wondered how to structure and lead this SLT to work collaboratively to achieve college-wide priorities?
Research in SLTs demonstrates that they can improve organizational performance and decision-making when structured and led effectively. However, there is not much research on SLTs in higher education, especially at the college level. That is why as a doctoral graduate student at Frostburg State University, I am exploring this topic for my dissertation. I have been the assistant dean for Development and Alumni Relations at the University of Maryland College of Education for the past nine years. I have seen first-hand how SLTs have worked collaboratively to achieve remarkable results for their colleges. I have also observed SLTs struggle to find a purpose and to work as a team.
With this in mind, I invite you to participate in my dissertation research by completing a questionnaire on how you, as dean of a college of education, structure and lead your SLT. It should take no more than 20 minutes of your time and I will gladly share the definitive version of the dissertation and discuss the findings with you.
To review the informed consent and complete the questionnaire, please visit SLT Dissertation Research here.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please contact the researcher directly at kssudbrink0@frostburg.edu.
