The deadline for the Pivotal Leadership Academy (PLA) application period is midnight tonight (Jan. 7). (Note: Direct supervisors to PLA applicants will have until Jan. 21 to complete the Leader Process.)
Employees can learn more about the program by watching a recorded Information Session WebEx. Information below serves as a reminder about the program.
WVU Medicine continues to grow and the need for employees who are ready to step into a leadership role is just as in demand. Whether you are based in Morgantown or at one of our many locations across the WVU Medicine System, you may be interested to learn more about WVU Medicine's 2020 PLA.
PLA utilizes classroom instruction plus team projects to help high-performing employees develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to become a future leader within the organization. The program will broaden participants' leadership skills and strengthen their capacity to lead while helping them establish a path for success.
PLA is scheduled to begin in May and run through December. The monthly sessions will be held in the Center for Education and Organizational Development (CEOD) training rooms in the WVU Medicine Operations Support Center in Morgantown.
Part of each monthly session is focused on a multi-disciplinary team project. The success of the team project will require participation in weekly meetings outside of the monthly session. The PLA curriculum aligns with WVU Medicine’s Leadership Competencies Model, which provides a framework for a leader’s success.
Last year, PLA received more than 180 applications for 30 spots in the program. Keep in mind that applicants must meet the following criteria when they submit their application to PLA:
Applicant Criteria (from date of submission):
- A minimum of one year of employment at WVU Medicine.
- No current disciplinary action for the past rolling 12 months per the Corrective Action Policy (V.230 CORRECTIVE ACTION AND DISCHARGE).
- Not serving in a formal leader position (supervisor or above)
