Interpersonal Savvy for Leaders

Offered: May 15-16, 2013

Leadership in the 21st century increasingly requires executives and managers to rely more on interpersonal skills than on official authority to achieve organizational objectives. This means coaching, teaching, counseling, mentoring, empowering, and motivating the wide range of individuals with whom leaders must interact. Today’s leaders must have the ability to build rapport, develop and maintain cooperative working relationships, and define oneself in the context of others.

Strategic Thinking: Driving Long-Term Success

Offered: May 21-22, 2013

Every organization must formulate its objectives and priorities and then determine how to achieve them. Doing so requires not only investments in people, processes, and organizational structure, but also in the analysis of trade-offs because resources are limited. Strategic thinking requires leadership to look for external and internal changes and trends that may call for adjusting the strategy.

The Art and Science of Negotiation

Offered: June 4-6, 2013

To achieve organizational goals, today’s executives must develop an ability to employ a full range of negotiation techniques—from win-win to no deal. They need to be able to identify whom programs and policies impact, identify who loses and gains from a particular action, and know the strategic value of understanding one’s "best alternative to a negotiated agreement." This strategy goes beyond simple influence and persuasion techniques to a finely honed ability to understand how and when to apply sophisticated negotiation methods.
