Leadership skills are a crucial attribute for modern executives. The University of Miami Executive Leadership Certificate Program focuses on the tools and knowledge needed to drive an organization’s success at the executive level. Students will hone their communication skills, learn to deal with uncertainty, broaden their capacity for critical and analytic thinking, and gain the awareness needed to establish and apply ethics in the workplace. They will also learn to build and maintain trust with employees and discover new ways to motivate others in a variety of workplace situations. The skill sets acquired will prove invaluable to managers, team leaders, and department heads in all areas of business, including government employees and those who work in the education field or for nonprofit organizations.
This program is offered through the Office of Professional Advancement at the University of Miami.
Possessing top-notch management skills can open doors in a variety of industries including advertising, sales, construction, marketing, and industrial production, as well as at countless restaurants, retail shops, and hotels. The U.S. Department of Labor projects that the employment rate for most management positions will either rise or remain steady between 2012 and 2022. New businesses will seek out management material while established companies will recognize and reward managers with skill sets that reflect a more modern, forward-thinking business approach.
Program learning outcomes include: developing strategies for dealing effectively with uncertainty; building skills for creating and maintaining ethics in the workplace; framing and conquering the challenges facing all businesses; and exploring the varied aspects of communication, trust building, self-awareness, and motivation.
During the course of the program, each student will create an ePortfolio of their completed assignments to showcase program learning and program outcome mastery. This is a valuable tool to demonstrate professional skills and knowledge to current or potential employers.
The online format gives students the freedom to work at their own pace, navigating through modules of content which build on topics presented throughout the program. By reviewing custom-curated articles, websites, and other electronic materials, students will expand their knowledge and gain an understanding of current applications in the business sector. Interactive study tools allow students to review key terms and topics prior to written and objective assessments. In addition, practice quizzes increase skill development and ready students for module tests.
