Authentic leadership at every level of the university is crucial to shaping a healthy, connecting organisational culture. The leadership compass that has been developed provides an excellent starting point for leaders to discover their own strengths and weaknesses and to take steps in their development as a leader. That tool must find its way throughout the organisation. Supervisors must be given the opportunity to participate in appropriate CPD courses, which should become more systematically embedded in their job responsibilities. We will also investigate how they can get better support throughout their careers. It should become a natural part of the authentic leadership we strive for at KU Leuven for staff in a supervising capacity to give feedback in a constructive and clear manner, but also ask for feedback and follow up on it.

Together, we make KU Leuven

Thank you very much for the vote of confidence you have placed in me during what has already been an intense campaign. Now we are steaming ahead to the final round of voting! Because if you really want to bring a breath of fresh air to the university, you need to know exactly what is going on, what the needs are and how we can realistically address them. In short, you need to know KU Leuven inside out so that we can move forward together and leave no one behind. That’s why I am keen to continue the dialogue with you, because yes, together, we make KU Leuven.
