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
  • Develop new skills to accomplish work through peers and subordinates
  • 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
  • Increase your commitment to and understanding of the leadership role
  • Enhance your awareness of the role emotional intelligence plays in managerial effectiveness
Who Should Attend

New managers (typically those with subordinate supervisors) in the early stages of their management position
