Applied Leader Simulation

The Applied Leader Simulation challenges Manager Academy graduates to apply their knowledge in a one-day learning experience. During a three-round tenure as a manager, participants use a highly customized board simulation that guides and directs activity. The simulation is designed to reflect the opportunities and obstacles that one might encounter when managing a team of representatives who must meet goals as they interact with internal and external customers in their day-to-day work. Participants work with peers as a team, competing against other teams to develop the most-successful simulation outcome.

This robust, engaging course stretches managers to confront complex, highly interwoven performance management and operation issues commonly faced in a university setting. Rather than focusing on a single skill, this course challenges participants to synthesize their skills to make difficult decisions, each with its own set of benefits and consequences. Themes covered in the course include Employee Engagement, Performance Management, Leadership Styles, Collaboration and Teamwork, Risk Mitigation, and Managing Diverse Staff (values, culture, generations, etc.).
