Dear ELI Cohort 4,
Thank you all for your attendance at the June 27 orientation for our fourth offering of the UNC Executive Leadership Institute (ELI). We hope you found it both informative and inspiring. We look forward to seeing you all in person in September. You are encouraged to use the summer months to build a rapport with your coach/learning league and for self-reflection in preparation for Module 1. Below you will find important information about the program and next steps.
SharePoint Site As explained, all ELI materials will be organized and available for view/download on the following SharePoint site: https://uncsystem.sharepoint.com/sites/UNCExecutiveLeadershipInstituteCohort... We suggest that you bookmark this link for easy access and let us know if you have any issues with accessing the materials.
LinkedIn Group If you haven't already, please join our Executive Leadership Institute LinkedIn group at: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8955088/. This page is being used to build out our network and share the great things that our ELI colleagues have accomplished! Please let us know if you have a job change, promotion or recognition so that we may share with the group.
Meetings with ELI Program Team In July and August, Anne Schwarz and I will meet virtually with each individual cohort participant to share goals/expectations/feedback and answer any questions about the program. Marissa Grey is working on scheduling these virtual meetings. Please complete this brief surveyhttps://northcarolina.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b4n3GVzy0hnFtZ4 by Friday, so we can find a time that works best for you this summer.
Executive Coaching Please see the attached spreadsheet with contact information for each of the five Learning Leagues and coaching assignments. Your executive coach will be reaching out to you to schedule 1-on-1 and team coaching sessions over the summer.
360 Assessments Prior to Module 1, each participant will complete a CCL Benchmarks 360 assessment designed to provide important feedback from key stakeholders including supervisors, peers, and direct reports. You will also be asked to complete a self-assessment that will be compared to the responses from your raters. Your executive coach will walk you through the assessment process, share your final reports, and debrief your results with you. Note, the UNC System Office will not see individual reports; we will only get an aggregate report on the cohort as a whole.
An overview of the 360 process - including important dates - is attached (and available on the SharePoint site) for your reference. Please be on the lookout for the email from notify@datasltn.commailto:notify@datasltn.com. Benchmarks by Designs on July 10th to begin the 360-assessment process.
Module 1 You should have also received calendar invites for Cohort 3 recognition ceremony/ ELI Alumni event and Module 1, hosted by UNC System Office and UNC Chapel Hill on September 27 to 29, 2023. We will kick off the module on September 27th at the UNC system headquarters in the Dillon building in downtown Raleigh. This will be a Cohort 3 recognition and ELI alumni event with UNC System President Peter Hans and NCSU Chancellor Randy Woodson as guest speakers. You will have an opportunity to meet with ELI alumni and the other System Office senior staff.
We will begin Module 1 at the Rizzo Center, located at 150 Dubose Home Ln, Chapel Hill, NC 27517 on Sept. 28 and 29. More detailed information on how to book your rooms at the Rizzo Center will be shared next month. Meals will be provided during the program. Each day will consist of lecture, group discussion, small group breakouts, and networking lunches with colleagues. More information about Module 1, including a detailed syllabus/agenda and any pre-work assignments will be communicated in July.
