Cary Joins Amy V. Cockcroft Leadership Development Program

Michael Cary, associate professor, was recently selected as one of the 2019-2020 Amy V. Cockcroft Leadership Fellows.

The Amy V. Cockcroft Leadership Development Program is the first of its kind in the Nation. Established in 1994 by Amy V. Cockcroft, the founding dean of the College of Nursing at the University of South Carolina, the program has evolved to prepare nurse executive leaders to meet the urgent demands of today's healthcare environment. The progressive leadership program will prepare fellows to lead and navigate complex organizations, academic institutions and other community settings.  

During the program fellows will: 

  • Expand boundaries of leadership through self-awareness, circles of influence and visionary strategic thinking;
  • Leverage work at a higher level using system-thinking concepts with highly effective organizational and personal communications;
  • Resolve and negotiate conflicts with mastered communication skills and self-reflection;
  • Challenge traditional linear thinking to lead successfully in today's global, complex, and evolving healthcare environment; and
  • Plan and implement an interdisciplinary project that illustrates the application of acquired leadership and supports the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) Report on the Future of Nursing.
