Eagle Leadership Program Honors 21 New Scholars

Eagle Leadership Program Honors 21 New Scholars 

The Eagle Leadership Program, an 11-month leadership course designed for faculty and staff and led by Human Resources, honored 21 new scholars at the capstone graduation recently.

Focused on developing leaders, creating an environment to promote University relations and collaboration among University leaders, the program began in 2009. Candidates are nominated by Georgia Southern’s divisional vice presidents for their dedication, leadership skills and potential professional growth.

Throughout the course, participants learned about the following topics/events:

  • Employment Law
  • High Impact Leadership
  • Improving Communication Skills
  • Practical Problem Solving and Decision Making
  • Developing People: Coaching, Counseling, and Training
  • Handling Conflict and Criticism and/or Building Trust and Teambuilding
  • Personality and Leadership Traits
  • Dealing with Difficult Personalities
  • President’s Cabinet roundtable discussion
  • Review Sessions
  • Capstone Graduation
Recent graduates of the program offered many positive comments. 
 
"I had a great experience in Eagle Leadership. It's really nice to have the opportunity to interact with people on campus that I don't get to see everyday," said Brandon Kimmons, information systems coordinator in Information Technology.  
 
"I enjoyed every minute of it. It's an excellent program. It helped build my communication skills and management style. Getting different perspectives from around campus and enhancing work relationships that I already had was the most beneficial advantage," said Kristi Bryant, director of Parking and Transportation.
