The Leadership Development Series builds the skills and practice of key people management behaviors that support the UCSF core competencies: achieving results, building relationships, and creating the future.
- This series is designed for leaders who have been in their roles for at least 6 months.
- For new managers still in their first 6 months at UCSF, we require the Management Practice Series and recommend New Leader Onboarding.
- If you are an individual contributor (not currently managing people), you may better benefit from registering for the Striving for Your Best Series.
