Management
At the University of Alberta we seek out challenges so we can create change. We collaborate and integrate. Managers propel this vision forward by building unstoppable teams and skillfully managing the here and now.
Managers execute the strategic direction and move operational goals forward by planning and organizing work. They allocate and control resources. They align their team and set expectations to achieve goals. They monitor performance and help people to grow by providing timely and effective feedback.
Our Management Intensive Program supports managers with the essential skills they need to build high performing, effective teams that meet operational goals and move the strategic vision forward.
Leadership + management: What’s the difference?
Put succinctly, good management produces “order and consistency,” and good leadership produces “change and movement” (Northouse, 2022, p.12).
