Online Manager Development Program

PROGRAM OUTLINE

PROGRAM PREPARATION AND KICK-OFF

Participants will introduce themselves to the cohort and learn more about what to expect during the program. Individuals will complete two assessments prior to their individual coaching session: the PRADCO Quick View™ Leadership Assessment and the PRADCO Personal Styles Assessment.

INDIVIDUAL COACHING SESSION

Participants will meet with their assigned coach to review their PRADCO Quick View™ Leadership Assessment results and establish goals to be covered throughout the program.

GROUP WORKSHOP 1: MANAGING SELF

Participants will review core functions of a management role and discuss common challenges, as well as how to overcome them. Each individual will identify their core values and how to lead with emotional intelligence and trust, which will create a foundation for their development.

GROUP WORKSHOP 2: MANAGING RESULTS (PART 1)

The focus of this session is how to get results by leveraging relationships. Each participant will receive their Personal Styles assessment results and learn how demonstrating versatility can improve work relationships and overall effectiveness. Participants will better understand how to communicate with purpose and presence.

GROUP WORKSHOP 3: MANAGING RESULTS (PART 2) 

How to manage relationships with former peers will be examined, and each person will identify the important components of obtaining results through others. They will learn specific steps to effectively delegate, establish clear goals, and hold others accountable to meet desired outcomes.

GROUP WORKSHOP 4: MANAGING PEOPLE (PART 1)

Generational differences in the workforce will be explored. Participants will discuss the differences between leading and managing and identify tools to effectively coach and motivate others to perform at their highest levels.

GROUP WORKSHOP 5: MANAGING PEOPLE (PART 2)

The concept of healthy conflict as a best practice for leaders will be introduced. Each participant will learn specific steps to minimize unhealthy conflict and will conduct exercises to practice those important skills.

GROUP WORKSHOP 6: MANAGING CHANGE

In this workshop, participants will learn a model for leading change and identify how change impacts them as individuals, their team, and the organization. They will explore ways to fight change resistance and change fatigue in an ever-evolving environment. The program wraps up with reflection on each participant’s learnings and a celebration of their success.

LEARNING & APPLICATION

This program is specifically structured to create optimal learning and application for participants, including reinforcement through individual coaching and an alignment call with their manager.

Participants will obtain insight into their own behaviors and styles through the assessment tools used. Content covered throughout the program will be delivered so that each person can take time to think through how it applies to their individual situation, which will enable them to identify specific actions they can implement immediately.

Interactive group exercises are conducted in each workshop to allow people the opportunity to share their own experiences with others, as well as hear from others, to aid in learning. Attendance in all workshops is strongly encouraged for this reason.

Homework assignments are completed in between workshops to reinforce behaviors and skills.

PRADCO’s Striving for Excellence: Manager Development Program provides an accelerated and comprehensive learning opportunity for managers to acquire and develop the skills and knowledge needed to perform effectively, which would normally take years to acquire on the job.

WEBINAR 4: DEFINING YOUR UNIQUE LEADERSHIP STYLE

A live, interactive Zoom session where participants will demonstrate their improved leadership presence by making a commitment to being the leaders they want to be and that their organization needs, and how to be an ally for other women.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION

Participants will receive a certificate for completing all assignments as outlined in the program
