The eight-month series provides UNMC supervisors, managers and administrators with the tools to become highly effective leaders.

It also provides participants with an understanding of UNMC policies and procedures.

Sponsored by UNMC Human Resources, the UNMC Management Series covered such topics as:

  • Leadership;
  • Communication;
  • Compliance;
  • Teamwork;
  • Managing change;
  • Performance management;
  • Employee motivation; and
  • Diversity.

Here are some participants comments about the experience:


"The series was well worth the time commitment. … I would encourage others and give my overwhelming approval to continue this program and maybe go so far as to make it a requirement for all UNMC personnel."


"The quality of the material and speakers is great. It provides you with resources and techniques that can be used both professionally and personally."
