Unit 3: Improving Managerial Effectiveness
Develop your team, manage change, improve personal effectiveness
An effective leader is one who has a good sense of his or her own strengths and limitations and how to get the most out of his or her abilities.
In the “Improving Managerial Effectiveness” unit, you will learn how to expand productivity through time management, organization and understanding your physical limits and needs. You will discuss organizational change and how managers can use different communication, planning and monitoring techniques to smooth these transitions. Real examples of changes in the workplace will be examined, as well as the elements and products of those changes. You will explore the dynamics of teamwork and team development, and discuss what procedures and rules are vital to building cohesive and productive teams. You will see how good team development builds confidence, camaraderie and loyalty among your employees while raising productivity levels.
