0127 - Fundamentals of Management
Course Description
Great managers, whether managing in human services or elsewhere, make it look easy. It is not.
This module will focus on the importance of being an "intentional" manager, being explicit about all that one does as a manager.
Theories, perspectives, styles and strategic approaches of managing within the specific context of nonprofit human services will be explored. Some of the topics of discussion will include:
- You, your role and the organization.
- Peak performance and your accountability to create it.
- The Social Sector: Good to Great.
- Organizational culture, structure and processes.
- Power and influence.
- Organizational and community capacity building elements and your role.
- Analyzing an issue of importance to you and creating an action plan.
Pre-Workshop Assignments
