Discover: Rebuilding Leadership Bench Strength: How UMBC Is Engineering a Multi-Level Leadership Learning Continuum to Strengthen Capability & Succession

•  Redesigning UMBC’s entire leadership development architecture in response to a new leadership, and a growing cohort of leaders, some new to higher ed replacing one-off courses with an intentional, cohesive, multi-tiered curriculum that builds capability from aspiring to senior leaders.
• Integrating coaching, mentoring, and cohort based learning across programs like Launch, Inspire, Leap, Rise and Peak UMBC’s senior leadership track to improve leader confidence and reduce over escalation to HR, targeting a 20-30% reduction in employee relations cases as leaders gain the skills to resolve issues earlier and more effectively.
• Targeting measurable institutional impact by building a pipeline of trained internal leaders prepared to step into acting, interim, or permanent roles, reducing succession related disruption and positioning UMBC to improve retention as leadership turnover across higher ed continues to accelerate.
