Outcomes & Leadership Skills
Course Goal
People in management and supervisory positions will integrate leadership and management functions into seamless, graceful and effective performance that achieves institutional objectives while unleashing the potential of all OSU employees to create greatness.
Leadership Skill Development
Managers as Leaders facilitates Leadership skill development. Actual skill development, however, requires on-the-job practice and integration of leadership skills into current practices.
Program Development
Program outcomes are generated to the extent that; 1) participants practice leadership skills, and 2) supervisors support participants to use leadership skills on-the-job. Program outcomes multiply as more people develop and collaborate to use leadership skills.
Lauren Dodd
Student Services Manager
INTO OSU
Liu has been able to contribute a whole range of new perspectives and ideas that have enhanced our solutions to problems and the quality of our services.
In a letter to the Director of the Office of Human Resource, Liu Yang writes,
When I realized Dr. Mägis had a very different teaching style than many other presenters who focused heavily on giving information, I became immediately convinced of the potential outcome of this training. When she stated her philosophy that ‘taking in information is only distantly related to learning,’ I could not agree more.
I started to identify trends and think strategically on program implementation, which means to respond rather than react to repeated issues we encounter at INTO OSU. I also became more confident in speaking up in meetings and giving presentations to groups. Most importantly, I found myself searching for opportunities to act proactively instead of waiting for tasks to be assigned.
I thank you for your endorsement in making this session a possibility for all employees like me who may regard themselves as ordinary but will be transformed into doing extraordinary things. I look forward to seeing many more people becoming emergent leaders and thus contributing their strengths to the OSU community.
