Leadership

Seminar for New Managers: Leading People (SNM)

A Powerful, Interactive Learning Experience for New Managers

Overview

Highly motivated new managers should take this opportunity to acquire crucial leadership competencies for successful transition from first-line supervision into management. Experienced managers who have not had the opportunity to develop these competencies formally will also benefit.

You will diagnose your preferred leadership styles and learn their appropriate use, and develop skills in conflict resolution, human capital management, leveraging diversity, emotional intelligence, problem solving, and communication. Adult learning methods include scenario thinking, case studies, and group exercises. Faculty from the Management Development Centers, the Federal leadership community, universities, and the private sector will use a very interactive and experiential approach in this seminar, helping you apply current information on leadership theory and practice to your real organizational problems.

How Will You Benefit

Become more astute at adapting your leadership styles to diverse groups
Acquire new conflict management tools to resolve organizational challenges
Better understand the flexibilities available in managing human capital
