Abstract
The introduction of new leadership competencies and certification requirements for aspiring and existing leaders in one Canadian province have prompted review, design, and redesign of graduate level programming in leadership specializations. This paper will describe one university’s work to blend research-based academic rigour with government expectations for certified leadership knowledge and abilities across seven competency areas. Key learnings to be discussed include productively working between histories and expectations for academic freedom, government interests in standardized competencies in leaders, and practitioner concerns about practical application, standardization and the need for responsive context-specific needs.
