Building Academic Leadership

How can people across academia connect and lead change together?

Prof. Irad Yavneh, Limor Abas-Or, and Yoav Ben Arie discuss the Technion’s Academic Leadership program, which brings together academic and administrative staff to cultivate the next generation of campus leaders.

The conversation focuses on the unique challenges of academic institutions, the value of stronger connections across departments and faculties, and the importance of building a shared language and relationships beyond formal roles.

It also explores how human connection supports leadership, how organizational culture can evolve gradually, and what the Technion’s experience may offer Israeli academia more broadly.
