Monday, April 06, 2020 | 3:30PM–12:00AM ET
Session Type: Virtual
The ability to make vitally important decisions is not an innate skill for managers, but rather, one that is developed over the life of a career. These decisions, both big and small, are strongly linked to the values held by each individual. Understanding your own managerial values will help you instill these values in others, cultivate relationships, and build high-functioning teams. This competency focuses on the qualities and characteristics that make managers successful. Through discussion and self-reflection, you will develop a clearer picture of what you stand for and how you can make more effective decisions.
 
By the end of this competency, you will be able to:
  1. Analyze characteristics and traits of effective managers
  2. Assess your management strengths and weaknesses
  3. Analyze strategies for promoting a more diverse and inclusive workplace environment
  4. Explain the importance of emotional intelligence as a management skill
  5. Create a plan for approaching ethical decision-making
