Management series accepting applications

The Management Series is an eight-month professional development experience uniquely designed for UNMC supervisors, managers and administrators to develop the necessary tools to become highly effective leaders.

Topics for the series foster skills in visionary and strategic thinking, leadership and team building, communication, plus contemporary topics in the ever-changing management landscape.

Since the series is progressive by design, participants must make a commitment to the entire series, with the endorsement of their immediate supervisor. The course features a highly interactive format; as a result, enrollment is limited, so early application is recommended.

Application deadline is Sept. 24. The program is sponsored by UNMC Human Resources-Employee Relations. Monthly sessions, beginning Oct. 17, will be held off campus to allow for uninterrupted learning. Please review the Management Series Poster for details regarding session dates, times and a summary of each session.

  • Discover the core traits of a successful leader.
