Principal & CEO Mentoring
Are you an experienced college leader embarking on a new strategic journey?
Are you a newly appointed principal seeking suitable guidance in your senior executive role?
Are you on the path to becoming a CEO?
College leaders play a pivotal role in shaping the lives of countless individuals, and the position of college principal or MAT CEO is both uniquely gratifying yet filled with distinctive challenges. Principals and Chief Executives regularly encounter novel situations and relationships, devise strategies, and make complex decisions, often navigating uncharted territory, but the arrival at the top of the organisation suddenly narrows the available and appropriate options for leadership development.
Mentoring for Principals and CEOs
SFCA’s mentoring programme aims to address this gap by providing access to seasoned mentors who can provide timely, context-specific counsel drawn from experience, understanding and networks that are highly relevant to the problem to be solved or strategy to be developed.
The link is designed for impact, is short-term and highly tailored to the needs of the individual leader, their strategic challenge and/or organisational priority.
Mentors and mentees build a relationship over a series of meetings both in person and online. Meetings are highly focussed and planned jointly by the mentor and mentee to achieve the desired outcome.
How does it work?
SFCA will provide a matching service between an accredited SFCA mentor and you as mentee, you may even wish to suggest a preferred link based upon mentors profiles. Mentoring is informed by a mentor framework, but there is no set programme. It is goal orientated and purposely flexible to the mentee's needs.
The relationship between the mentor and mentee is clearly defined and agreed by both parties via a mentoring agreement which is delivered over a pre-agreed period of time (eg 5 days) over the course of a 12 month period.
