Designed to give managers a practical process and the skills necessary to develop talent within their workgroup, this course covers the Development Process model and the manager’s role before, during, and after the development plan. The objectives are to help leaders:

• Build an agile team that can quickly adapt to changing work and skill requirements.
• Assist team members in the creation of meaningful development plans that focus on the organization, the team, and their individual development needs.
• Increase the likelihood that development plans will be implemented and their goals will be achieved.
• Increase team member job satisfaction and motivation while supporting strategic organizational goals.

This course counts as an elective course toward the Management Development Certificate. It may also be taken individually without pursuing the certificate.

The courses in the Management Development Certificate suite are targeted for managers in particular job classifications. This course is open to UCLA staff and faculty managers in roles with payroll titles classified at the following levels (including equivalent IT and academic classifications):

• Roles currently classified under the Career Tracks system:
• MGR1 through MGR4
• Professional 4 and 5
• Roles still classified under the pre-Career Tracks system:
• MSP – all levels
• PSS-5 through PSS-7 

(Note, roles classified at Career Tracks Supervisor/SUPV levels — i.e. job titles that end in SUPV 1 or SUPV 2 — are generally not eligible to take this course.)

Supervisors who are not classified at the levels above but who have attained the Supervisory Leadership Principles Certificate – Enhanced and the Supervisory HR Principles Certificate are also eligible to enroll.

For additional information see the Management Development Certificate.
