Developing Great Managers for the Government Certificate Program
Course Description
Some of the most effective learning experiences for managers are short and informal and this program shows you how to create quick, flexible learning. Join us to learn how to create informal management training sessions and other quick and flexible learning events, such as podcasts and blogs. During these two action-packed days, you will create hours of training and record several podcast episodes that you can take back to your workplace and immediately apply--no additional costs, no licenses to worry about. Everyone who attends the workshop will receive and be able to use all the work generated in the workshop.
Participants will discuss management development trends and practice several tools for quickly building informal training programs that can easily supplement a more formal training program. This workshop is based on the popular book Developing Great Managers by Lisa Haneberg. Each participant will receive a copy of the book.

On-Site Offerings
ASTD can make arrangements for the Developing Great Managers Certificate Program to be offered at your organization. You might find it is easier, and more cost effective, for one of our facilitators to come to your site and teach a two-day workshop. Your attendees participate in the same learning experience offered at our public seminars, but have the convenience of being at your site and the benefit of covering the material with company peers.
