MASTERING MANAGEMENT – SKILLS AND VISION FOR WOMEN ON THE MOVE
Women in early middle-management positions gain the competencies and perspective they need to become greater assets to their organizations.
They learn how to work more effectively
as leaders and collaborators through a curriculum focused on:
- management acumen
- strategic thinking
- organizational awareness and skills
- personal development
Through simulations, case studies, and classroom analysis, participants strengthen their repertoire of core technical skills and business knowledge. Coaches provide just-in-time assistance, allowing a greater degree of independent discovery within a structured context of assessment and feedback.
Key to advancing professional success is a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of strategic process. With the help of simulations and role interaction with experienced practitioners, participants learn to distinguish near-term operational and tactical decisions from the truly strategic perspective that delivers long-term benefit to the organization.
How multicultural women interact with corporate organizations can often determine their career achievement. Communication, influence, coalition building, championing, teamwork, and networking are a large part of the program’s content, helping participants see the organization as a networked system requiring continual management and development. Through multiple pedagogical approaches—ranging from classroom discussions and simulations to team projects and emersion exercises—participants expand their capability to recognize and solve organizational challenges using their unique perspective as multicultural women.
A primary objective of the program is to develop career resilience that allows each woman to manage her own career path, leverage professional opportunities, overcome obstacles, and celebrate accomplishments. Participants benefit from rigorous self-assessment supervised by experienced mentors, helping them become aware of their talents and the potential for growth and improvement. Through emersion experiences as well personal reflection, women focus on their own courage and capacity to take risks. Each participant leaves the program with an individualized plan for self-development.
Ultimately, much of the value of the program is received after it is over: from continuing interaction among a network of peers and predecessors. Network building is a continual subtext of all our activities, and its professional value cannot be underestimated for multicultural women. Equally important to these women, however, is the realization that an effective network is not composed solely of people just like them. So the program strives to diversify each participant's professional contacts while maintaining her unique, proud, and courageous identity.
