To effectively lead within an organization, one must possess a diverse set of knowledge and skills.
The Management Development Program is for those who seek to strengthen their leadership core competencies and enhance their effectiveness in a range of areas. While this series is particularly suited for those who have taken HEC's Fundamentals of Supervision Certificate Series, anyone can benefit from enhancing these key skills for people managers.
Six live virtual courses, two hours per course, two courses per week
Enhancing Leadership through Emotional Intelligence: This course delves into understanding your personal tendencies and how to effectively manage them. Participants learn to leverage their emotional intelligence to enhance social awareness, establish trusting relationships, and build cohesive teams. Additionally, strategies for cultivating, maintaining, and rebuilding trust are explored.
The Human-Centered Approach to Change: Explore change from the perspective of the people it affects most. Participants gain insights into the significance of change adoption, change management principles, and the various roles involved in achieving transformational change to achieve business objectives.
Strategic Alignment of Goals: In this course, participants learn how to effectively cascade goals to their team members. Participants also explore the importance of setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) and how purpose-driven goals can drive personal decision-making and prioritization. Additionally, participants discover the distinctions between individual development plans and performance improvement plans.
Coaching with a Growth Mindset: In this course, participants will learn the role a growth mindset plays in being able to effectively coach. Participants will explore the art of coaching through the examination of coaching techniques and practical application to empower others to critically think through solutions and resolutions. Understanding how to coach will enable you to help your employees achieve personal growth and development.
Managing Difficult Conversations with Empathy and Clarity: In every workplace, difficult conversations are inevitable—but they don’t have to be a source of anxiety or conflict. This course equips you with the tools and techniques to handle tough discussions with empathy, clarity, and confidence. Whether you’re providing constructive feedback, addressing sensitive topics, or navigating workplace conflicts, you’ll learn how to approach these conversations in a way that builds trust, fosters understanding, and drives positive outcomes.
Strategies for Effective Time Management: This course seeks to equip participants with the skills to prioritize their tasks and optimize their workloads. Participants will discover and overcome the underlying factors that hinder their ability to effectively manage their time, equipping them with practical strategies to implement and excel in time management.
