Managing Performance
This course provides the understanding, skills, tools, and practice to implement a performance improvement system that will increase performance and enhance the job satisfaction of the people you supervise.
Managing Performance is a six-week online course delivered through Moodle. Instruction includes a combination of prerecorded lectures, reading assignments, written activities, and a weekly quiz. Every week students have the option to participate in an online session with instructors and classmates to discuss the weekly activities and learning topics. To get the most out of the course, students should plan to spend 2-3 hours each week on combined course activities. Cornell Agricultural Workforce Development’s supervisory leadership program consists of six courses. An Agricultural Supervisory Leadership certificate is available to those completing all six courses and achieving 70 percent or better on all weekly quizzes.
