Managerial Leadership: Making Vision a Reality |
1.00 |
An organization’s vision must be communicated in a manner that inspires people to participate in fulfilling it. Before members of an organization work to their full potential, they must first understand what it is they are working for—to make the organization’s vision a reality.
It is through communication that a leader gains support for the organization’s vision. People will not commit to something blindly, nor should they be expected to commit without information. Therefore, when, how, and to whom an organization’s vision is communicated is of great importance to the successful fulfillment of the vision.
Your organization’s vision must be communicated to the people who’ll have a hand in fulfilling it, as well as to the people who’ll be affected by it, such as clients or investors. Your organization’s vision should also be communicated to potential employees, or other people in the community who come into contact with your organization.
In this course you will learn to: communicate the vision, gain support for the vision, and empower employees, and implement the organization’s vision. |

Managerial Leadership: Leading with a Vision (Instructor Guide) |
1.50 |
An organization does not generate itself—it is founded by one or more people who take the initiative to put an idea into action. Leadership is the cement that unites members of an organization to achieve a common end.
Leadership helps members of an organization understand the organization’s purpose, and makes sure they do not lose sight of the organization’s vision. If an organization functions ineffectively, leadership helps members cope with the changes needed to improve the organization, enabling fulfillment of the vision or goals.
Leadership also helps members of an organization work to their full potential. If a team has the ability and resources to complete a task, leadership can provide the motivation and inspiration the team needs to complete the task.
In this course you will learn to: Identify a leader, define the vision of an organization and write a vision statement, and relate goals to the vision statement.
This Instructor's Edition of this course includes notes and suggestions to assist you in presenting the material, whether in an in-person classroom setting or as an instructor-led online or distance-learning course. It also provides you with the answers to questions found in mid-lesson activities, as well as in the quiz that concludes the course. |

2.00 |
Planning and policy-making are closely linked to the development of quality school-age care programs. When school-age staff are skilled as planners and policy-makers, they can use these skills to design and implement high quality programs that benefit children, youth, and families. It is essential for school-age care professionals to recognize that it is important for policies to grow out of a vision of quality, and a mission that supports that vision. Therefore, creating a vision for quality, developing a program philosophy, and writing a clear mission statement are the first steps in program planning. It is also important for school-age care professionals to use a systematic process to develop goals and objectives, set priorities for accomplishing goals and objectives, and develop goal-based action plans that will help the school-age program achieve its mission. High quality school-age programs are led by professionals who understand how to use effective strategies for creating a continuous cycle of planning and evaluation that supports ongoing program improvement. |
