Leadership Assessment for Managers

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

This is a leadership course for those of us who want to learn more about ourselves and about others: how we, with our unique styles, influence and lead others, as peers, as direct reports, as supervisors and managers, and as leaders. Through discussions and skills practice, we learn what we do well and what we might improve so that we become even more effective: not only effective at getting results but also effective at building, maintaining, and even improving relationships. Grow your leadership skills in two ways: through increased self-awareness and interactions with other students. 1. Increase self-awareness: Our course provides you with feedback from your peers, direct reports, and/or supervisors and uses tools like behavior assessments to explore your preferences. The course asks you, through assignments and self-reflection, to consider who you are, what you value, and how you got to where you are in life and work. 2. Learn from (and improve) how we interact with others.  We each bring with us a unique set of experiences to our work: experiences that have shaped what we value; how we think; and how we approach relationships, problems, and tasks. Our course helps us to learn leadership by understanding other individuals. We use small-group discussions and team assignments to help you learn from others and adapt to others' styles and preferences.

When Offered Fall, Spring.
