Management & leadership

Being a manager today means achieving results with kindness. It means staying attentive while making decisions. It means anticipating the future while managing the day-to-day. In short, it is a mission as rewarding as it is complex, requiring us to rethink the way we work, organize ourselves, and collaborate.

Presentation of the program

Too often, we tend to forget that, in addition to achieving results, a manager must above all act as a facilitator, successfully coordinating the efforts of his or her team. An organization is often only successful when its team is competent, fulfilled and happy to contribute to the success of its objectives.

In short, a manager is the guarantor of a balance between efficiency and humanity. These two seemingly contradictory notions are far from being incompatible. Thanks to this program, you will discover how to integrate these two notions into your day-to-day professional life; on the one hand, to achieve better results and anticipate the future, and on the other, to create a climate of trust conducive to listening, innovation and sharing. To achieve these goals, we have created two distinct certificates, each with a different purpose.

In the first certificate in Change management, we focus on the managerial aspect, giving you the keys to developing your versatility and agility. In particular, we'll look at the notion of change and its impact on your business, enabling you to anticipate and manage it safely.

In the second certificate in Team management, we will move away from the operational aspect and refocus on the relational aspect. In particular, we'll try to improve your understanding of human behavior within organizations, so that you can identify positive social interactions for your team.

Finally, by combining these two programs, you can be sure of benefiting from a multi-disciplinary education that will enable you to become a responsible manager ready to meet the challenges of the future.

Learning objectives

  1. Acquire a holistic, cross-functional understanding of the challenges of responsible, humane and benevolent management.
  2. Develop versatile, agile and innovative skills to help your team succeed.
  3. Successfully combine the notions of efficiency and humanity to achieve results while integrating the human dimension in your activities.

Target audience

  1. Anyone in charge of a department or team wishing to develop their human and organizational skills.
  2. Managers and professionals wishing to acquire cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary management and leadership skills.
  3. Managers and professionals wishing to study or apply new ways of working, organizing or collaborating.

Program's curriculum

The open program in Management & leadership is a DAS designed for professionals wishing to develop new skills in parallel with their professional activity. This open program incorporates a strong participatory dimension. The fundamental notions will be presented beforehand, then supplemented and illustrated by numerous practical exercises based on real cases.

The Management & leadership program consists of 2 blocks and includes the writing of a final report . This represents 30 days spread over 10 months. That represents a total of 210 hours of teaching and about as many hours of personal work.

each certificate can be followed individually

Change management
We are operating in an ecosystem undergoing radical change. Technological breakthroughs are intertwined with societal developments and unprecedented environmental constraints. As a manager or future manager, you must be able to identify, support and steer these changes within your organisation. see program Change management
02
Team management
The performance of a team is not measured by the sum of individual achievements but by its collective ability to collaborate, show courage, resilience, and creativity. Managing a team requires more than just common sense. This program will equip you with the tools needed to approach your role as a manager with confidence and ease. see program Team management
