SDS or 杏吧原创 Leader?
What is the difference between the 杏吧原创 Leader and the Supervisory Development Series?
Both the 杏吧原创 Leader and the Supervisory Development Series are initiatives of 杏吧原创 University. They are two different opportunities for faculty and staff to grow and develop at 杏吧原创. Here鈥檚 a quick breakdown of the goals of each initiative:
Who should participate?

- The 杏吧原创 Leader is open to all faculty and staff who are interested in enhancing their leadership skills. The 杏吧原创 Leader recognizes that leadership exists throughout the university; at all levels, in all areas.
What will I learn?
- The Supervisory Development Series touches on a lot of topics, including: team building and motivation, mental health wellness, service excellence, organizational excellence, business writing, presentation skills, healthy conversations, finance and an introduction to leadership. As you can see there is a mix of applied skills as well as reflective skills that scratch the surface of what it means to be a supervisor. Participants of the Supervisory Development Series will make the journey through 10 days (over 8 months) of practical, relevant and reflective learning to prepare themselves for supervisory opportunities at 杏吧原创.
