The FORTHEM Staff week is a five-day workshop on the topic "European perspectives on leadership in higher education“. The aim is to offer space and input for exchange about good leadership at universities in the FORTHEM alliance and beyond for executive staff and personnell development staff (HRD).
Is there an european perspective on leadership in higher education? What about organisational impacts on leadership, what do universities expect from their executive staff and from their personnel development programs? How can HRD support good leadership?
These questions will guide the FORTHEM staff week with input and discussion sessions, exchange formats, peer consultation, job shadowing and methodical workshops.

Program description:
Monday
We will welcome you for the following seminar week. For this we will give you an organizational and thematic overview of what to expect in the next few days.
For this element of the program, we need your support. We are looking forward to hear from your university and get to know the universities of the other participants.
Tuesday
Positive Leadership (N.N.)
Helping people GROW, Susanne Marx
In this session, we will focus on how to consult a person who comes for your advice, instead of telling them what to do. You will learn and practise a guideline for a short one-on-one-consulting. You will find out about the impact of asking the right questions. You will strengthen your ability in helping others to develop ideas and finding their own answers to their questions.
Understanding and reflecting on responsibility, Dr. Jana Leipold; HRD JGU
In this session, you will learn more about the topic of responsibility and its complexity. You will learn different angles with which you can reflect and dialogue on responsibility. You will understand the interaction of people and organisation. We will discuss on how we all can create a culture of dialoguing on responsibility in our daily work lifes.
My culture - your culture, working together in our culture - intercultural communication, 'The way we do things around here’, Roisin Russ
This interactive workshop delves into the hidden intricacies of intercultural communication and explores how irritations and misunderstandings can have their base in our own cultural perceptions and expectations. We look at some of the traps we fall into in communicating across cultures and how these can be overcome.
"I am pleased to see that we have differences. May we together become greater than the sum of both of us."(Vulcan Greeting, Star Trek)
Wednesday
In this workshop you can learn about the method of collegial consulting. This is a consulting session in a self-managed group of equal members with defined roles. The group advises one member at a time on a certain topic or problem. The aim of the consultation is to develop solutions to a problem from everyday professional life.
Call for papers
Participants have the opportunity to submit their own topics and concerns and to shape the workshop.
Therefore we ask you for your own impulses and preparation with a call for papers.
Thursday
BarCamp is an open conference form, which is designed as far as possible by the self-organization of the participants. That being so, we focus is on the exchange of content between the participants, alternating between open group sessions and plenary sessions.
Call for papers: For this we ask you to prepare a topic of your choice in advance. You will receive more information about this with the confirmation of your registration.
Job shadowing is on-the-job training. An employee accompanies a colleague on their job for a certain period of time. He or she is more or less the shadow of the colleague. In this setting the colleague can observe the colleague's activities and gain an impression of the colleague's tasks.
If this is not something you are interested in, you are welcome to use this time for networking.
Friday
Later on, the learned material will be applied using partner exercises and interactive exchange.
