The President’s Ten for One strategic framework sets out ten new goals for Johns Hopkins University through 2030 under four organizing pillars: One University, Individual and Collective Excellence, Knowledge and Impact, and Community Partnership and Economic Opportunity for Baltimore and the other communities of which we are a part. Each month we will highlight a goal and share some of the ways that we can advance our professional growth related to the university’s strategic mission.
Goal #2: Embark on an ambitious series of major cross-university initiatives that build on our achievements as One University and lower the barriers to collaboration so that our faculty, students, and staff can pursue their ideas wherever they take them.
This goal includes removing systemic organizational, administrative, and technological barriers that unduly impede interdisciplinary collaboration.
The Fannie Gaston-Johansson Faculty of Excellence Program (FGJFEP) has engaged in cluster hiring to encourage and support interdisciplinary cohorts of faculty with targeted community-building, leadership development, competitive start-up packages, and other strong infrastructure supports.

JHU Talent Management has identified 6 Leadership Skill Domains that we consider essential for effective leaders. Each month we will highlight one domain, what success looks like, and opportunities to grow our skills in that domain.
Leadership Competency #2: Developing Talent
A leader who meets this competency provides guidance and feedback to help other strengthen knowledge/skills needed to accomplish tasks, solve problems, and perform effectively. They guide and support the professional development of individuals so that they can fulfill future job/role responsibilities, define career goals, and establish development plans to achieve them. These leaders give people constructive, developmental feedback and advice. They invest time and resources into building the capabilities of their team members.
Academic Impressions has a 1-hour course called The Art and Practice of Giving and Receiving Feedback, and it is available free when you log in with your JHED ID. Taking this course also provide credit towards completion of the Provost Picks’ LAD Academy Certification!
