Water Leadership Program (2022)
The Water Leadership Program (WLP) is an award-winning program that helps emerging leaders to develop the ability to exert influence, drive change and advance challenging integrated water management projects – abilities associated with the most effective integrated water management leaders.
The WLP is a feedback-intensive, 10-month professional development program, underpinned by a contemporary definition of leadership, commonly known as the DAC Framework. The DAC Framework views leadership as a process of influence that accomplishes three outcomes:
• direction: a shared understanding of common goals and strategy (e.g. a shared vision for a new water management project or team)
• alignment: the joint coordination of resources and activities (e.g. aligning people, projects, funding and research in a team to deliver a shared vision)
• commitment: a commitment to collective success (e.g. motivating and inspiring others to achieve mutual interests).
Participants in the program may achieve one of two Griffith University digitally badged micro-credential THE BENEFITS
The program helps emerging leaders to strengthen their skills in:
initiating and driving change
implementing more integrated and sustainable water management practices
leading high-performing, cross-boundary, multidisciplinary teams
exercising influence across various organisational boundaries
strategically building and using social networks
anticipating, planning for, and using ‘windows of opportunity’ to drive change
using various influence strategies and models of change.
Benefits for employers
Research indicates that networks of skilled water leaders are a major factor in driving change and helping water organisations meet the complex challenges of the 21st century. According to the feedback gathered from participants in the last three rounds, we conservatively estimate that organisations fully funding staff to participate should see a positive return on investment in less than one year (on average).In short, a Certificate of Excellence micro-credential is awarded when participants complete all elements of the program. A standard Certificate micro-credential is awarded when participants just complete the core elements of the program (e.g. the training, 360-degree feedback, an individual leadership development plan, etc.).
Micro-credential certificates are issued in the form of digital badges granted through Credly. The Certificate of Excellence provides 20 Credit Points of advanced standing entry towards the Graduate Certificate in Water Leadership offered by Griffith University – equivalent to half of the Graduate Certificate.
