University staff are constantly encouraged to perform at increasingly high levels. Achieving targeted results is significantly more likely when managers and staff work within apractical and focused performance management framework.
The Active Leadership program provides the concepts and practices of leadership to help managers effectively develop, coach, empower and lead their teams to higher levels of performance. The program is designed to enhance staff skills and abilities, both in their current position and in their future career development at Columbia.

Today, all schools and departments within the University experience change. Leading Change combines the latest ideas, models, tools and adult learning techniques into one, powerful program that gives leaders the skills they really need to lead change effectively.

A strong vision with clearly articulated and communicated objectives, cascaded throughout a school or department, results in a better understanding for staff of how their work connects to the larger picture.
The Team Development Program is designed to provide intact, cross-functional and project teams with the perspectives, skills and tools necessary to rapidly progress through phases of team development to produce results.
