Leadership Development Program

Doane Leadership Quotient (DLQ)

Staff Leadership Development Program

Doane College is committed to developing goals, achieving results, and further integrating the college's vision, mission and values across every department, beginning with our leaders.  Leaders at Doane College have the ability to shape the future of Doane.  We know that developing our leaders is key to sustaining excellence and continuing the college's growth.

Beginning in the autumn of 2009, participants in the DLQ program embarked on a  journey of leadership development.  Leaders throughout the College engage in monthly leadership sessions that incorporate the seven core competencies of a leader on which the program is based.
