Establishing Momentum: Managing Structure, Resources, and Performance

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

Effective leaders not only develop good ideas and create action, but also implement the ideas and sustain action. You can be charismatic. You can be charming. But your skill as a manager will be evaluated in terms of your ability to get things done. Once you have gotten an initiative off the ground, you need to ensure that your coalition has the ability to produce results and drive momentum. A proactive leader must have the managerial competence to build the coalition's capacity to keep the initiative moving forward and growing, and the performance-management skills to keep it operating effectively. This course is designed to help learners develop a "roadmap" for establishing momentum for their coalition's agenda, apply facilitative and directive leadership styles appropriately in teams and organizations, maintain organizational capacity in order to allocate resources and prioritize effectively, monitor performance in order to evaluate progress and make corrections, and apply these skills to a change agenda in their organization.
