Leadership development at Copenhagen University
The University of Copenhagen aims at leadership to be exercised with the same degree of commitment and professionalism as the University’s core tasking: research and education.
HR & Organisation (HR&O) is developing and implementing University-wide leadership development for all Faculties and the joint administration at the University.
The program will cover up to 600 managers at the University and will run from the beginning of 2009 until the end of 2011.
In November 2008, Hein Degn & Partnere and Summit Consulting acting in partnership were appointed external consultants to work with HR & Organisation to provide the content of the modules.
360 degree feedback is part of leadership development
The leadership development process involves a 360 degree feedback on managers.
The 360 degree feedback is based on the leadership foundation Good Leadership at the University of Copenhagen, which describes the six leadership competencies that all managers at the University are required to work with. A total of 46 statements which form the basis for feedback reflect the six leadership competencies.
The six leadership competencies are:
Focused action
Organizational focus
Expressed empathy
Personal integrity
Timely intervention
Inclusive communication
