SDU’s Leadership Compass

Provides you with tools to develop yourself as a leader


SDU’s leadership compass

The leadership compass aims to help managers to be able to handle the many different types of management tasks that result from working at a large university with a composite university population with many connections to the surrounding local, national and global communities.

 Leadership is about bringing human skills and resources into play, so that we as a university can pursue our goals and solve our tasks. Good leadership helps employees, students, partners and the University succeed in their purposes and ambitions. In doing so, SDU creates value for and together with society.

 The ambition for leadership at SDU is supported by a number of offers for managers for use in their managerial development. You can find them here on the Management Portal.

Mentoring scheme for new managers

The mentor/mentee relationship is a framework for professional and personal career development for both parties. The individual mentoring teams are primarily responsible for the quality and benefits of the relationship. The mentee is responsible for the content of the conversation, and the mentor for the framework and process. Human Resource Services/the Consultancy Group manages the mentoring scheme and matches mentors and mentees.
