Management and leadership development

Framework

USQ recognises the important role that managers and supervisors play in fostering employees' sense of involvement and value and as such Human Resources has developed a tiered approach to coordinating development programs which provide support and development for the University's managers and leaders. The following table identifies each target group and the specific training opportunities supported through Human Resources.

Management and leadership development program

The 2009 Management and Leadership Development Program is available to employees from workplace supervisory levels through to the senior executive group and is aimed at building capacity in the areas of people management, personal leadership, strategic management and business sustainability.

360 degree feedback program for senior managers

The 360 degree feedback program for senior managers is designed to provide senior managers with the opportunity to receive feedback on how effectively they demonstrate USQ's leadership and management competencies and behaviours, and evaluate their progress towards achievement of USQ's goals. The program covers all members of the Vice-Chancellor's Committee and is conducted on a regular basis as part of USQ's BUILD performance management system.
