Early Career Middle Managers
Behavioral health care organizations need a deep “bench strength” of leadership capacity to address the complexities inherent to treating populations with mental health and substance use challenges. Nowhere are these leadership skills more important than in your early middle managers of department supervisors, team leaders and project managers.
Executives commonly agree that leadership development of their new or recently promoted managers is essential to future success. And yet, almost 60% of frontline managers never receive any training for their first leadership role. With first-level managers comprising almost 40% of the leadership population, the need to prepare these managers to effectively lead others is critical.
The challenge? Organizations have traditionally been forced to compromise between quality, cost and flexibility when considering leadership-development solutions. Until now. Celebrating more than 20 years of impact, the National Council’s Middle Management Academy (MMA) is the only program of its kind to develop future health care leaders into strong links in the management chain. Participants learn the skills needed to successfully engage staff, improve performance and fulfill their role as influential frontline leaders.
