Management Essentials Learning Group
This specialized program offers in-depth training by experts in a peer learning environment for new managers and those with up to 5 years of experience. Need a place to learn and discuss how to handle your difficult management dilemmas? Our roles as managers mean we are responsible for the planning, executing and implementing of a program or service that meets the organization's objectives and helps to fulfill the mission. Sounds easy enough but we know it can be very challenging. We take care of day-to-day operations and try to concentrate our time on overseeing supervisors. Our duties may include hiring and firing, working with budgets as well as working with other managers and executives in the organization also. It can be overwhelming - especially if you are a new or relatively new supervisor! Making it more difficult is the possibility you are now managing former peers. If you do not think about your management approach and define it for yourself, odds are that you are simply going to mimic supervisors you have had in the past. Or do the opposite if you have had a challenging manager. This five-week Management Essentials Learning Group, with three-hour sessions, gives managers the time and space to examine the essential steps to effectively fulfilling the role well. By learning from experts and interacting with their peers, participants find solutions for their particular on-the-job issues. This learning group also provides an opportunity for managers to develop a personal action plan journal that can be used during and after the program is completed.
