Overview
Can you be an effective manager while staying true to the labor movement's values? Not only is it possible to manage staff without compromising on values, it is critical that managers at unions and social justice organizations get the training they need to become effective leaders and make the best use of limited resources. Through the Managing with Labor's Values training, participants learn techniques for helping their staff succeed, keep staff accountable and respond appropriately to common staff management issues while honoring the labor movement's values.
