Leadership and Management Development

Managing at Yale

Develop your people. Inspire breakthrough performance.

Leading your team in ways that engage and inspire breakthrough performance — and developing the capabilities of your staff members—requires critical knowledge, skills, and attributes. That’s why the University created its signature manager development program, Managing at Yale.

Managing at Yale is more than a training curriculum. It provides the fundamentals needed to support a work culture that values diverse experiences and points of view and thrives on respect and collaboration. You will learn about leadership principles, labor relations, diversity, inclusiveness, and more through interactive and engaging presentations, real-life scenarios, and peer interactivity.

Leadership Essentials, Leading Teams, and Driving Performance—These three Managing at Yale courses cover key areas, including labor relations, performance management, diversity, team cohesion, and effective self- and team leadership strategies. Each course lasts eight weeks with nine—ten-week breaks. The last two courses, Extraordinary Leader and Advancing the Extraordinary Leader, are delivered in person and provide insight through a 360-degree leadership assessment, development plan, and coaching to further develop managerial and leadership skills.
