Our Management Accelerators cover a comprehensive set of skills, divided into three management areas: individuals, teams, and strategy. Together, these three Accelerators will equip nonprofit managers to succeed in a demanding environment and deliver value for the organization quickly.
The Managing Individuals Accelerator will equip managers with the skills to effectively develop staff, align goals, and build accountability through five practical, hands-on workshop sessions.
Note: Management Accelerators are not covered by the NU Subscription plan.
