Malcolm Campbell - Leadership

I approach my leadership in teaching and learning with commitment, expertise and dedication. My key skill sets include:

a unique ability to unite a team and develop a focussed approach to the strategic and operational requirements of the work group;
a detailed understanding of teaching and learning particularly within a multi-campus, multi-mode university;
analytical and critical thinking skills to identify areas requiring action and problem-solving skills to develop solutions that are viable, achievable and responsive to the future learning needs of students;
an ability to develop strategies for improvement and to lead staff through the change required to achieve those strategies; and
personal skills that allow me to work within, and across, faculties and divisions to develop agreement and commitment for the actions required.
