Senior Management Program

Course Description

The Senior Management Program consists of a five-day first phase followed by the three-day second phase. Participants address current personal, professional, and organizational issues relevant to senior level executives in government and universities.

Presenters include Center staff, nationally known consultants, and distinguished university faculty. The course utilizes a variety of instructional methods and styles, simulations, discussion, and a confidential, multi-rater leadership skills assessment to facilitate learning. Topics vary to meet changing needs, but this year's offerings include opportunities to build skills in: Advocacy, Communication Strategies, Teamwork, Vision, Values & Integrity, Organizational Culture, Diversity, Negotiation, and Change Management.

Included in the program, participants will receive a one-on-one coaching session with one of the Center's experienced executive coaches. During the session, the coach will review the multi-rater feedback instrument with the participant and identify strategies for enhancing leadership effectiveness. The coaching session will also provide feedback and guidance to assist the participant in designing an on-going professional development plan.
