Leadership Development Institute

Leadership Development Institute cohort
30th Leadership Development Institute (LDI)

The LDI program began in 1992 and has been offered annually since that time (except in 2020-2021 when the pandemic occurred), making it a signature program of MC. The LDI promotes the philosophy that people lead from where they are and focuses on the participants’ self-awareness of personality, vision, influencing, building relationships, and interactions with others.

The cohort is open to all MC employees—faculty, staff, and administrators—and meets online for nine classes during the academic year. The program ends with participants presenting their projects that they self-selected and developed throughout the year and a graduation ceremony.
Since 1992, 638 employees have graduated from the LDI with increased self-awareness and self-confidence, an increased network of colleagues, and a sense of team bonding. The LDI always has been and continues to be a program that promotes a one-college view, enhancing employees’ abilities to contribute to student success. Be a part of the experience as the LDI begins another decade!

Note that full participation is expected as a requirement for completion. Only one absence is accepted. Additional absences require the participant to return the next year to make up the missed classes.

The applicationnew window, available in Workday Learning, is due Thursday, September 14.
