Management and Leadership Skills for Environmental Health and Safety Professionals



As you move higher in your organization, the requirements for technical environmental health skills give way to requirements for management skills. You will need to develop clear goals and objectives that tie environmental health and safety outcomes to corporate goals, develop strategies to achieve these objectives, establish expectations, delegate to team members, and measure outcomes.

 

In this course, you will develop the management skills needed to improve the EHS function in your organization while gaining the leadership skills needed to lead teams, make decisions, build stakeholder buy-in, and generate and sustain change. You will participate in focused skill building in the critical areas of leadership and management development with the objective of bridging the gap between environmental health and safety technical skills and leadership skills essential for achieving functional excellence.

In this course, you will learn principles imperative to your success as a manager, including:

  • Managing and motivating people
  • Negotiation and conflict resolution
  • Effective business communication
  • Risk communication
  • Listening as a communication skill
  • Time management and utilization
  • Strategic and business planning for results
  • Regulatory affairs management
  • Professional ethics and legal issues of management
  • Building EHS management systems
