FLEX is a School of Medicine leadership development program for emerging and current leaders in clinical and academic settings who seek to enhance their leadership skills and executive presence. The five full-day sessions invite the selected participants to dig deep in understanding their emotional intelligence and its role in leadership; develop a personal vision statement through guided articulation of one’s values, aspirations, and expertise; discuss and experience effective and dynamic executive presence skills; recognize sources of personal power in negotiations and difficult conversations; and develop an overall learning plan for moving into one’s desired future.
Classes are composed of approximately 12 individuals who are selected by a committee of FLEX graduates. Criteria for selection is based on the individual’s ability to articulate short and long term goals or the challenges in describing those goals, sense of strengths and acknowledgement of personal barriers, and motivation and commitment to participating in the program.
