Leadership at Carleton University is a collective and distributed endeavor. It is not defined exclusively by title or role and occurs at frontline service and in governance. A leader possesses either personal or organizational capacity to inspire people towards the achievement of common goals. In this sense, leaders exist throughout the institution in all occupational groups.
Senior leaders and board members at a university are uniquely positioned to drive change. This is no less true at Carleton. Enduring change is accelerated and venerated through the values, beliefs and behaviours they embody and incentivize. Carleton also commits to ensuring EDI experience, education and professional development are valued and integrated throughout its leadership programming as well as in its processes of recruitment, retention, appointment and promotion.
