Do you have a stellar staff member? Someone who merits a significant investment in their development? Or would you like to increase your current effectiveness and learn how to prepare yourself for a more complex or senior position in the future?
The SOM’s Office of Organization Effectiveness (OE) is currently taking nominations through October 9th for LeadingSuccess™, a first-level program for leadership skills development.
Here’s what past attendees had to say:
The LeadingSuccess™ program has helped us to transform our team into an effective, productive, happy, hard working group….I would highly recommend this program. It was a transforming experience.
Nancy Wintering
Clinical Social Worker
As a self-reflective person, the LeadingSuccess™ program gave me unparalleled opportunities to examine my strengths and weaknesses. I really valued the resources that were available for self-improvement.
Ben Adams
IT Project Leader
We are asking managers to identify outstanding individuals on their staff who have strong potential. These staff members must currently supervise or be in a full-time project manager role that involves others (e.g., running a project team).
If you would like to participate yourself, talk to your manager about nominating you.
Nominating managers must be committed to supporting the staff member’s attendance at the program over a period of nine months. The Program will include participant assessment, classroom sessions and coaching.
The content of LeadingSuccess™ differs from the Supervisory Certificate Series (SCS) in that it dives more deeply into skill development than the SCS. There is not significant overlap between the two programs. The SCS is not a prerequisite for LeadingSuccess™, and graduates of the SCS are eligible.
