The Louisiana State University Continuing Education Professional Development Program will sponsor its flagship program, “Fundamentals of Supervision,” beginning in September. The program is offered by the Management and Leadership Institute of the program.
Dr. Courtland Chaney will instruct in the sections, along with Steve Robichaux, Dr. Kerry Sauley, ad Mellinda Stallings.
LSU Continuing Education has provided training and professional development for more than 90 years, and Industrial- Organization (I-O) psychology has been involved in that process for the last 30+ years, said Dr. Chaney. Chaney is a licensed I-O psychologist in Louisiana and instructor at LSU Continuing Education.
Chaney and others in the field offer educational programs under the auspices of the Management and Leadership Institute within LSU Continuing Education, and has been a lead instructor in the creation and teaching of management and leadership development since 1983.
“Over the years,” he said, “we have developed a large portfolio of training and professional development courses pertaining to supervision, management and organization development, with content revisions and new training programs created each and every year.”
He pointed out the important role Continuing Education plays in providing training to working adults.
“Today we have four instructors trained in the field of industrial-organizational psychology developing and teaching part or all of more than a dozen leadership and organization development short courses, all of which are one to three days in length,” he added.
I-O psychology trained instructors include Melinda Stallings and James (Jim) Stodd, both of whom hold Masters in I-O psychology, and Kerry Sauley and Courtland Chaney, both of whom hold doctoral degrees in I-O.
“We are involved in developing custom training programs for client organizations as well as teaching ‘open-enrollment’ short courses on the LSU campus,” explained Chaney.
The current open-enrollment professional development programs taught in part of full by I-O instructors include the following titles:
Fundamentals of Supervision Enhancing Supervisory Performance Developing Your Managerial Effectiveness The Practical & Legal Aspects Staffing Employee Development & Total Rewards Employee Relations & Employment Law Workplace Investigation Essentials Interpersonal Success in the Workplace Effective Management of Compensation & Rewards Strategic Organizational Planning Strategic Communication Building High Performance Organizations Leading Highly Successful Organizational Change
