Dr. Courtland Chaney and Dr. Kerry Sauley, industrial-organizational psychology instructors, will present “Developing Your Managerial Effectiveness,” a program offered by LSU Continuing Education Management & Leadership Institute, on March 20 – 21, from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. The program is a two-day event, and will be presented again in June. This is a follow-up course to the popular course taught by the I/O psychologists, “Fundamentals of Supervision.” “Developing Your Managerial Effectiveness” provides a chance for participants to build their leadership and interpersonal skills, and add to practical management skills. Topics covered include understanding workforce motivation, managing conflict, understanding your personality type, and managing up and down the organizational hierarchy. Participants will learn how to identify organizational problems and motivation-related issues, problems with interpersonal conflict, leadership styles, and to learn more about one’s own personality.
On March 19, Dr. Chaney will also conduct a new program, “Managing Organizational Change & Culture.” This is a one-day seminar at the Institute, designed to address key elements for organizational change, dynamics, and procedures related to successful organizational change.

The Change & Culture seminar will benefit supervisors, managers, and human resource professionals.
