Welcome to this presentation on strengthening management skills of academic leaders. Today, we will explore why this is crucial for maintaining institutional coherence from an experience I got recently with an academic institution. I reflect on this experience and I wrote an article that you will find on my website. In this video, I present only the main conclusions. Academic institutions are traditionally seen as centers of learning and development. However, when there is a disconnect between the values they promote and how they are managed internally, it can harm the credibility and reputation. Let's dive into this case study where a prestigious institution's management practices starkly contradicted its ethical charter. This mismatch not only affected the students but only damaged the institution's standing. The case studies that you will find in the article underlines the importance of consistency. The values taught in classrooms must be reflected in the management practices of the institution to maintain trust and integrity. To address these challenges, academic leaders must focus on several areas such as ongoing training, regular evaluation of internal processes, active student involvement, transparency, and accountability. In conclusion, strengthening management skills in academic institutions is essential to ensure alignment between what is taught and what is practiced. This not only improves the student experience but also preserves the institution's reputations. You will find the details of these case studies, as I told you, in the article I've wrote and which is published on my website, that you will find here the information.
