This session is designed to help participants achieve their greatest productivity as a team leader and middle manager. A middle manager is expected to lead while holding onto their vision as they report to a supervisor and lead others. Understanding your roles and responsibilities is critical to middle managing in a highly functioning ecosystem. With communication and work systems identified, relationships will function at a higher level, work flow will be easier to anticipate and delegate, and expectations are better managed. Whether you serve as a senior administrator or program director, this workshop will increase your awareness of adaptable systems to unify your vision. This session is appropriate for someone with a few years into their position. Through a series of exercises and group discussion, participants will engage to define roles and responsibilities, articulate systems of communication, and clarify work systems for themselves and their team.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn to articulate values and vision while collaborating with colleagues.
- Identify communication and work systems to strengthen team relationships and develop greater functioning through work flow, delegating, and managing
- Understand how to build a strong community through role clarity, communication, and work flow as a leader of a team and a direct report
- Learn how to better understand as an individual, your vision and the role you play in your work with the constituencies who report to you and to whom you report
