Management Development

Management Development provides managers with a support network and tools to succeed in their current role. We do this through a flexible series of formal, social, and experiential learning opportunities. The main goal of  Management Development is to support the development of support good management practice, and enhance individual, unit, and organizational performance by offering a clear structure managers can navigate in ways that are personally meaningful yet consistent across the organization.

Please note: This development opportunity is aimed at professional services and academic staff who are currently in non-union management roles at the university (e.g., Managers, Directors, Associate Deans, etc.).

Overview: Management Development builds managers’ capacity across the Five Managerial Mindsets:

• managing self, associated with a reflective mindset and focused development of reflective practice
• managing relationships, associated with a collaborative mindset and skill development in interpersonal communication and collaboration
• managing a unit, associated with an analytic mindset and skills to improve organizational excellence
• managing in context, associated with a contextual mindset and the ability to situate perspectives and decisions in relation to local, national, and global contexts
• managing change, associated with an action mindset and deliberate, thoughtful decision-making

These are further discussed in a Harvard Business Review article.

Engagement Opportunities

In addition to learning opportunities for managers, we have also created a manager-specific Microsoft Team where you will be able to interact with your colleagues across campus and share resources.

We also host regular Management Morning events, a space for management gather in real-time to learn from one another by sharing insights, promising practices, discussing relevant management topics, and consider ways of overcoming shared challenges.

If you have an idea for a management development topic, please contact us!
