This program delivers an integrated, comprehensive people management and team leadership education. The courses are taught by executives and leadership experts who have coached or managed teams that have achieved extraordinary results.

A whole systems approach is taken to developing, leading and managing a team to achieve sustained high performance. Participants develop the competence and discipline to effectively:

• Evaluate an organizational environment
• Access personal and team member strengths
• Build a shared team mission
• Prioritize projects, metrics and goals
• Optimize team strategy and staffing
• Coach for high performance
• Implement effective evaluations and change management

Coverage of these topics extends beyond what is generally available in traditional intensive leadership workshops. The people management topics are covered in a more practical and active learning approach than typically found in the core management courses of an MBA program.
