Overview

The Management Masterclass Programme is a new initiative to strengthen personal leadership and managerial capacities of existing supervisors, as well as colleagues transitioning into supervisory positions.

The programme builds self-awareness, self-management, relationship & people management skills, and social awareness. 

Topics include:

  • Key management behaviours with a focus on self-management and role modelling
  • Effective communication and influencing skills
  • A coaching and enabling management style
  • Principles of project management
  • Change management, and managing in times of uncertainty
  • Managing relationships, including managing conflict

Target Audience

UNICEF staff at the P3/NO-C, P4/NO-D, and P5 levels on a permanent, fixed term or continuing contract working in a managerial function are eligible. (Applications from those who supervise two or more staff and consultants will be prioritized)

Programme Structure

The programme has been modified in light of the current COVID-19 situation to be comprised of six components:
  1. Pre-course assignments- HBDI and formal 360 Assessment by Talent Innovation
  2. Virtual Orientation- 1 hr
  3. 5 virtual 3-hour sessions
  4. Mid-course activities with peers and supervisor to embed learning
  5. 3 days in-person session
  6. Post-course activities- peer coaching
The programme is designed to run over the course of 12 months – this includes time to practice and reflect on the new skills and tools participants will have acquired during the residential component.
