Course Description

So you're a Manager now...

One of the most difficult periods of transition in your work life is when you might find yourself in a position where management is key.

Both formal and informal management roles require skills that regular, on-the-job training does not provide.

In this class, you will learn skills crucial to your success as a new manager.
These include:

  •  Influence and Advocacy,

  •  Motivation and Performance Management

  •  Leading Teams, and

  •  Leadership Communication

During this intensive two-day course with distinguished UCSB faculty Kyle Lewis (TMP) and Paul Leonardi (TMP), you will learn cutting-edge research in each of these areas, develop skills to be an effective manager, and leave with practical tips that you can use in your new management role tomorrow - and well into the future.
