Developing, Deploying and Supporting LEADERS Across Michigan
MARCH 2024 MICHIGAN LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE (MLI) News and Resources
The Michigan Leadership Institute is well prepared and experienced to assist your district and Administrative Leaders in meeting the new mentoring requirements in Michigan. Even more importantly, our success will be their success in leading a building, system, department or whatever their responsibility may be. As district leaders, you know there is nothing more important to increasing student achievement than strong, effective leadership and helping new leaders intentionally build those skills and strategies from the beginning is critical. We have consultants across Michigan who possess years of urban, suburban, and rural experience in districts of all sizes. We would love to support you and your team on concepts that count most such as: Competence and building purpose, Values and forging community, Accountably and fostering trust, Perspective and establishing blends/balance, Power and how to master influence, Openness and generating integrity, Language and building relationships, Humility and being authentic, Attitude being your best self, DWYSYWD " Do what You Say You Will Do" and build credibility. Plus so much more. If you are interested in new Administrator mentoring or an entire team mentoring, please contact Dr. Lisa Hagel below or any MLI consultant.

ASPIRING SUPERINTENDENTS (MLI SUPES ACADEMY) 2024 ENROLLING NOW
What is the Superintendent Preparation Academy?
The Superintendent Preparation Academy is a comprehensive leadership development experience to prepare individuals who will be the next “class” of superintendent candidates – those considering the pursuit of positions in the year 2024 or thereafter. This experience will also help you grow as an educational professional regardless of your leadership position and strengthen your skills and knowledge to increase performance today and tomorrow.
Why was the Academy Developed?
MLI is committed to K-12 school districts and public institutions throughout Michigan and the success of all children by developing, deploying and supporting outstanding executive leadership.
There will be an unprecedented number of superintendents retiring over the next decade. At the same time, fewer people with the necessary capacity-building experiences are aspiring to move into these critical leadership roles. In addition, the superintendency has become increasingly complex. It is critical that future superintendents have the best preparation and network possible as you take leadership of the district, and we want to help you be successful.
To see more information or register for the SUPES ACADEMY see the link and below or MLI website. We guarantee you will not be disappointed in the professional learning and relationships made in this experience. Please call Dr. Lisa Hagel at 810 516 9368 0r email at lhagelmli@geneseeisd.org. It is a Tremendous Experience!
