Introduction to Managing and Leading Course

ENROL NOW

 

It is the job of management to design and deliver programs that are efficient and effective; it is the job of leadership to engage people in continuous improvement efforts, so services are constantly evolving to respond to the changing expectations and technological advances of society, while remaining sustainable in terms of taxpayer affordability. Both these functions work in tandem when working in a society in which change—in technology, in social values, and in individual access to information—is almost exponential in rate.

This course will describe management and leadership skills and how good management and leadership can have a positive impact on your program, department, and organization. The skills and processes that you previously used to manage your own work may not translate into successfully managing and leading others.  This course will give you an introduction to managing and leading within the context of the health system and help you to prepare for the challenges and rewards of being a manager.

“This program really opened my eyes to the way things are currently done in health care and how they should be improved. I also feel like I gained skills to articulate what is happening and how to change it. Staff were very helpful and understanding. This course needs to be incorporated into more leadership and management positions in healthcare.”
