July 15 - August 9 2024 | Four-week online course
Who Manages, Who Leads Part Two: Mentor, Progress, Succeed, Lead is the second of a two-part series of four-week interactive programs, to introduce and continue educating existing managers and leaders to advanced theory and practice. Managers see mission. Leaders see vision. To every leader you will have a manager and to every manager a leader. Issues in managing other staff, resources, and services, as well as leadership roles and expectations are daunting tasks. Yes, some leaders are born, but others can be trained.
This course benefits those who participated in the first of this series, those who have a great resume, and those with successful interview who are hired. This course discusses advanced succession, mentorship, and promotion in hiring and selection. Managerial and leadership opportunities in between this spectrum range from those promoted into manager leader positions and those hired as manager leader positions.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore and discuss theories of management and leadership.
- Develop cognizant theories on the differences between leadership and management.
- Gain insights into navigating transitions to different roles and how to simultaneously serve in multiple capacities.
- Tie in practical issues that present to managers and leaders, such as hiring, firing and suggesting corrections to existing behaviors among staff.
- Finalize an individual and implementable career plan.
