The premise of the Management of Managers program is that effective leaders need multiple skills to allow for flexibility in successfully managing and leading in diverse situations. Effective leaders understand the subtleties of personal interaction, the competing tensions within organizations and how these relationships directly impact the performance objectives of their organization.

Using the unique and powerful Michigan "Competing Values Model," this five-day course provides a conceptual framework for evaluating your managerial skills and the role you play within and across the organization. Through examining the different "lens" within the framework of:

• Hierarchy (process and controls),
• Clan (people management and collaboration),
• Adhocracy (Creativity and strategic innovation) and
• Market (Customer focus and results)

You build personal capability to achieve a broader perspective and effectively manage and influence those around you to successfully address organizational challenges.

This program will benefit middle and senior level managers who are looking to address a broader organizational leadership role, and build personal capability to drive value across the organization. Participants generally have at least five to ten years of managerial experience in public or private organizations.

This program will teach you how to:

• Create value for your organization through leadership
• Utilize Michigan's powerful and exclusive "Competing Values Model" to understand the relationship between personal and organizational effectiveness
• Encourage creative thinking and identify the barriers to innovation
• Understand how and when to effectively empower others
• Implement and manage control systems successfully
• Use influence and power to manage more effectively
• Develop a more competitive environment

Other ways in which you will benefit from Management of Managers:

• The introspective, self-evaluation component of the program allows you the time to focus on your own professional development process
• Small group discussions focus on solving issues and challenges that face participants
• Networking opportunities with high-level peers enhance your management perspective
• Develop an action plan for applying the concepts learned in class to your workplace

Before your arrival, you will be asked to complete a "Best Self" assessment and distribute a similar assessment to others who are familiar with your work both inside and outside your organization (a 360 degree approach to assessing your strengths). The results will provide insight into your leadership values and effectiveness and form the basis for the personalized action plan you develop during the program.

For those who have completed similar assessments, these also can be brought to the program and complied with your "Best Self" feedback. The faculty will be most pleased to discuss your personal development challenges throughout the event with reference to your feedback.

NOTE: You are advised to register well in advance of the program start date in order to allow enough lead time for the completion of these assessments.
