Series Structure
The bootcamp series involves four half-days of interactive leadership development training with seminars distributed once per quarter throughout the year. Seminar content is delivered by established leaders within the Stanford Medicine community and supplemented with opportunities to network with other prospective institutional leaders within the cohort. Individualized leadership coaching is also available to bootcamp participants throughout the course of the program.
The series is structured with a focus on the individual for Day 1: Developing Your Leadership Style and Day 2: Navigating Workplace Culture, in which participants are prompted to discover their strengths as leaders and learn how to integrate them within their specific professional environments to become visible, confident, and effective leaders.
Upon building foundational skills, cohort members then apply their customized leadership toolkits toward leading diverse groups during Day 3: Leading Others and Day 4: Building Organizational Communities with a focus on leading teams in a complex organizational environment.
Selection process
The Leadership Bootcamp Series for Junior Faculty is designed to include 20-25 participants each year. The program is open to Stanford University School of Medicine assistant professors across all four lines. Selection for the program begins with a nomination by a Department Chair or Division or Section Chief in the SoM. Identified nominees must then complete a short application.
