Faculty members of FIU College of Business are helping to lead an effort to bring high-level leadership skills to an academic partner in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

The effort is part of FIU\u2019s Center for Leadership\u2019s partnership with the University College of the Cayman Islands (UCCI)\u2019s Executive Certificate in Global Leadership program at UCCI\u2019s campus in Grand Cayman. The program provides participants with knowledge and skills relevant to global leadership business, organizations and government.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur approach to leadership helps participants gain self-insight and learn developable skills,\u201d said Nathan Hiller, associate professor in the Department of Management and International Business<\/a> and academic director for the Center for Leadership<\/a>, who presented sessions during the 2016-2017 program, scheduled to conclude in May 2017. \u201cOur research-based findings cover a range of topics to help individuals take charge of, and strategically build, their leadership capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The current program, which began in October 2016, consists of a range of business and management topics presented as intensive sessions over a weekend (Friday\/Saturday) once every month. Programs such as these for UCCI are what earned The Center its 2017 #1 global ranking by Leadership Excellence Magazine<\/em> and HR.com<\/em>, for custom designed leadership development programming by an academic institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe regard FIU as a very prestigious partner because of its research and academic excellence and we are pleased to have the Center for Leadership with us for a second year of the program,\u201d said UCCI President J.A. Roy Bodden, JP. \u201cWe have gotten excellent feedback from people in this program about the significant value that The Center brings to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe interactive approach that FIU faculty members have creates an interesting dynamic for participants in the program,\u201d said Dr. J.D. Mosley-Matchett, Dean of Graduate Studies and Professional Development at UCCI. \u201cThis year\u2019s class happens to consist of almost all government officials and this is a particularly beneficial method of learning for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
