In this course we discuss how learning and development can enhance the role and contribution of managers in delivering organizational goals. We start with a brief overview of how in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous business environment, management is the key differentiator between success or failure to an organization.

This leads to a conversation about how Management Development should focus less on management skills and more concerned with four key dimensions: the ability to articulate vision, create a shared understanding, having clarity of thought within chaos and the agility to collaborate to bring about rapid change.

This course offers a critical perspective on organization development and highlights the direct connection between a commitment to ongoing OD approaches and the achievement of organizational purpose.

Course Key Content: Management Development, Vision, Human Relations, Managerial Capability, Collaboration, Management Skills, Organization Development, People management.

 

Learning Objectives
  • Discover how management is the key differentiator between success or failure to an organization.

  • Explore how Creating Understanding requires husbandry and enables the management team to understand the consequences of decisions made and impact of managerial behavior on individual performance.
  • Explore how the managerial capability to successfully achieve Clarity of Thought within the chaos links the vision of the organization and encourages individuals to choose to engage with the change needed.
  • Discover how the Agility to Collaborate enables the vision to become meaningful, shared throughout the organization and translated into organizational activities.

Seemed more like listening to a Doctorate Dissertation rather than a class meant to inform and improve managerial skills. If one like highly intellectualized classes, this is for you.
