Advancing New and Emerging Leaders with a Leadership Academy Approach (original) (raw)

This article chronicles the year-long process to establish the AHVN Leadership Academy. The Leadership Academy was a multi-session in-person program for new and beginning home visiting coordinators and supervisors. Three distinct themes—Lead Yourself, Lead Others, and Lead within the Organization—provided a multi-format approach beyond classroom learning alone. Participants learned from accomplished executive leaders, experiential initiatives, personalized assessments and assignments between sessions. Each rising leader completed the program with a written personal leadership philosophy and an expanded view of their leadership style.
