Leadership is the art of guiding individuals and teams toward a shared goal. It’s the driving force behind organizational growth and achievement, serving as the compass that sets direction and motivates employees to give work meaning, navigate challenges, and make a positive impact.
Boise State will use employee feedback to better understand overall supervisor and leader effectiveness, identify areas for enhanced supervisory and leadership training, assess the effectiveness of communication pathways and measure the overall success in connecting the university’s mission to the work done by employees throughout the organization.
