• Reviewing the Michigan Expectations Model for resources that will help you become a more successful leader
• Connecting with other leaders across the U-M community

Audience:

Any U-M faculty or staff interested in developing the essential leadership skills needed at the university

Program Notes: 

This program is highly interactive and includes small group breakout sessions. The webinar link and some recommended pre-class work will be sent in the registration confirmation email.

While some departments, schools and colleges may have their own supervisory training, this session is intended to provide a more generalized overview of the skills needed to lead at U-M.
