Leadership Capabilities
For our purposes at McMaster, our six core Leadership Capabilities are observable abilities, skills, knowledge, motivations or traits defined in terms of the behaviours which enable individual, team and organizational success. Our capabilities incorporate core leadership behaviours for all leadership levels.

Leadership Development Programs
Recognizing that everyone is a leader in their role at the University, we have identified five levels of leadership. These levels are only meant to be guidelines to support learning and development for our leaders and are not associated with levels of compensation.

Leadership Coaching
Leadership development coaching can help a leader to unlock their full potential. Coaching is all about you. A coach is a partner in your effectiveness, success, development and fulfilment.
McMaster has engaged several external professional leadership coaches to partner with academic and non-academic leaders and support their leadership development. Most engagements include a coach matching process to optimize the coach relationship. Costs vary on type of engagement depending on hourly rate of consultant. Leaders have utilized available professional development allowances or department training funds to cover related costs.
Leadership Feedback
Our customized leadership Multi-Rater Assessment collects broad and anonymous feedback from all of the participant’s work relationships to help an individual optimize their perceived strengths and gain insight to perceived areas for development and improvement.
