The Arc Middlesex County Leadership Institute

Inspired by the commitment to developing leaders, The Arc Middlesex County Leadership Institute was birthed. It is a leadership development program customized to grow leaders who will:

attract, develop, and retain talents
successfully implement business strategies &
increase the success of managing change while driving business growth

The goal: is to better equip and prepare emerging leaders for future leadership responsibilities while working to achieve and sustain the vision of the organization.

The Leadership 201 curriculum is researched based and crafted to include the core leadership skills and business development competencies. With the immediate Supervisors as their Coaches, the courses are customized for leaders; Assistant Director Level and above with each student leader committing to the course work spread over sixteen (16) weeks which includes both pre-work, post-work, and the application of learned skills to current leadership challenges. The Coach’s role is to provide additional support with the application of the skills and learning.

The Leadership 201 curriculum includes the following (8) course topics:

How to Lead People to Success,
Your Vision and Mission,
Strategic Thinking, Planning, and Metrics,
Compliance and Business Ethics,
Creative Thinking and Problem Solving,
Project Management,
Financial Accounting and Budget Management &
Leading Change.

The curriculum also includes a group project for which the learned skills are applied.

Congratulations to the Graduates...

Meet the graduates - From L-R: Kerry-Ann Mitchell (Chief Quality Officer), Jim Olwal (Assistant Director of Finance), Frank Adu, the CEO, Shari White (Chief Compliance Officer), Adrian Brown (Chief Program Officer), Lookman Akadri (Assistant Director of Residential Services) and Kevin Kute (Assistant Director of Residential Services)

We successfully completed the initial curriculum pilot “Leadership 201” on April 21, 2022, with six (6) graduates receiving public recognition from the CEO and a Certificate of Completion. We received very positive feedback following the pilot course and the skills gained were immediately applicable to work areas. Incorporating the pilot learning and feedback, we have officially launched the “Leadership 201” curriculum with a new group of student leaders in late May.

What is next for The Leadership Institute?

We are in the process of developing a Leadership 101 course for Managers. This will be customized for the Front-Line Supervisors and is scheduled to launch as a pilot in September 2022.
