Management Development Program

The demands and challenges that employees, managers and decision makers cope with are enormous and strong management competence is crucial to organizational effectiveness. Managers must be able to increase teams’ adaptability and responsiveness to a changing environment and promote a participative culture that supports enhanced productivity and efficiency. The NSAHO Management Development Program is designed to provide participants with the management tools and practices that will begin the process of building leadership capacity. The program is comprised of three interactive modules that are delivered in succession: Building Blocks for Managing, Supporting Change and Transition, and Foundations of Relationship Building. Participants will have the opportunity to learn experientially and draw on role-plays and individual/group work. The series of modules are offered each spring, fall and winter, providing participants with flexibility in scheduling and allowing them to set their own pace in completing the entire Management Development Program. This program will be of particular interest to anyone who’s position requires them to:
•   Develop the qualities of strong, effective leadership.
•   Master the skills to build effective working relationships and to cultivate an environment that inspires excellence.
