The technical skills and the strengths that served you well in the past may not be the one's that you need in today's work environment. Organizations need professionals who are not only technical experts but who can manage change and innovation in addition to leading people. You can attend these programs through the Rensselaer Learning Institute. There are two different programs that focus on two different audiences. Read on to determine which program is for you or your staff.
Participants come from a variety of geographic locations and professional backgrounds.
This variety combined with a minimum of six years of management experience creates a challenging and rich learning environment. The assessment instruments, video-taped activities, action exercises and rich feedback helps you determine which strengths still work for you, which need to be used less, and what new behaviors and skills you need to develop. FOL is based on CCL's research about what new managers need in order to lead effectively. The content focuses on leadership, conflict and creating a leadership identity. The core of the program is the creation of a safe learning environment that supports the self assessment and growth process.
