Professional Development & Committee Updates
Mini-MBA Concludes December marks the end of the Fall 2021 Mini-MBA Professional Development Program, Team Management Essentials, which was offered to RBS staff this fall. The ten module course was coordinated through the Professional Development Committee and RBS Executive Education, with the support of Dean Lei, to promote lifelong learning and encourage staff members to enhance their leadership skills. Topics taught by several outstanding RBS professors included Strategic Thinking and Planning, Performance Management, Communication, Cross-Functional Teams, Conflict Resolutions, and much more. Through a thoughtful collection of contemporary literature, interesting lectures, innovative case studies and stimulating break out room discussions, 26 RBS participants were challenged to develop supervisory skills and learn how to effectively manage and motivate team members. Learners pursuing the Mini-MBA certificate completed all ten modules, weekly insight worksheets, short quizzes, weekly evaluations, a development roadmap,and a professional development plan, in addition to passing the final exam, which is currently still open to Team Management Essentials participants.
