Program Content and Preview The program comprises of 3 compulsory modules with a total of 5 days of intensive classes over three months. Module 1 Managerial Decision Making (2 Days) Prof. Bilian Sullivan 19-20 August 2015 (Wed-Thu) Quality decision leads the success of leaders and managers. This module is designed to help participants to make better decisions in daily life and professional work. The module is organized around an important distinction in decision making between normative and descriptive approaches. While the normative approach concerns how people or executives should make decisions, the descriptive approach concerns how people or executives actually do make decisions. Both approaches are important for making sound decisions. This module will help participants to be better decision-makers by providing participants with various analytical tools to make reasonable good decisions by introducing the normative decision-making approach and developing participants understanding of decision biases in real decision-making situations by the descriptive decision-making approach. Module 2 Effective Team Communications (1 Day) Ms. Paula Ho 18 September 2015 (Fri) It is essential for team leaders to provide feedback and engage team members in order to improve team performance. This module will help participants to improve their communication skills when understanding, influencing, engaging, and motivating their peers and subordinates. Through lectures, personal assessment tool and interactive exercises, this module enhances communication techniques to improve team efficiency, learn personal and others characteristics to help embrace individual differences and discover the ways to work with people of different preferences and improve commitment to enhance team performance.

Module 3 Leading Teams to Performance (2 Days) Prof. Mitya New 14-15 Oct 2015 (Wed-Thu) Organizations in today s increasingly global and virtual world rely extensively on teams and collaboration to active their objectives. Companies need both more senior leadership teams, who may be together for several years, and strategic account or project teams, who may only work together for a few months, to be successful. However, often teams do not seem to work. Many people feel they take up too much time, cause conflict, add no value and are difficult to manage. This module will focus on understanding and experiencing how teams operate and learning how to transform and lead teams to deliver value and performance. Participants will understand the critical importance of individual and team behavior, as well as of the appropriate team operating system to achieve team effectiveness. It will include personality self-awareness, emotional intelligence, personal conflict styles, how to achieve alignment, clarity and trust across teams and the value of inspirational leadership. The module will use facilitated and team discussion, experiential learning exercises, case studies, team simulations and multi-media tools to help participants both experience the challenge of teams and leadership as well as learn the solutions to overcome these challenges. Program dates, content, choice of faculty and teaching sequences are subject to final adjustments and modifications. Please visit program website for latest details.
