Abstract

Creating and running effective, efficient, successful faculty retreats is both an art and a science. The best retreats are designed with the end in mind, understanding goals, objectives, and desired outcomes first. Timing is an important consideration, as is the content and who to include. A common challenge is managing dominant personalities, personal agendas, and power dynamics. Other important components to consider are whether to hire a facilitator, how to structure the agenda, and what to do to sustain momentum afterward. Understanding the fundamental components of a good retreat design limits damage and elevates successful outcomes.
