New Manager Boot Camp
For Recently Promoted Engineers and Scientists
Congratulations on becoming a manager. You're now responsible for:
- Engaging and inspiring others.
- Assembling and retaining the best talent.
- Prioritizing and making quality decisions.
- Navigating your organization’s unique power structure to get things done.
- Mastering the art of personal, group, and remote communications.
All while staying on top of your field.
The New Manager Boot Camp uses a combination of lectures, case studies, and individual and group exercises designed for immediate application in your career as a manager and a leader.
Unlocking the full potential of your team, and yourself, requires an additional set of skills -- beyond what got you here. Award-winning faculty and industry experts team up in this program to make sure you are prepared to lead.
Program Topics
This three day boot camp will provide you the training to face your new challenges, including:
Leading and Developing Others: How do you ensure that your team members are excited about their work, the team, the company? How do you manage difficult people? What do you do about conflicts between team members? How do you lead people who were your peers yesterday?
Team Structure: How many people can you effectively manage? How do you determine roles for team members? How do you manage dispersed, multi-cultural teams? What is technology's impact on organizational structure and business processes?
Time Management: How do you balance team management, planning for the future, and day-to-day decision making? How do you keep your team focused without micromanaging?
Hiring and Firing: How do you find good people and assess if they are a fit for your team? How do you take action when you have a poor fit -- quickly, professionally, and without threat of lawsuit?
Communicating Effectively: How do you harness the power of communication?
