Leading Management Teams

The Union created its Child Lung Health Division in 1995 to see how its TB model could be used to improve outcomes for children with pneumonia and other respiratory diseases.

“Since I attended the Leading Management Teams course a lot of my thoughts and behavior have changed. I now give more feedback to every report that is sent in by my team, and I’ve become an active listener who looks for the facts that affecting a project’s implementation. I’ve also used some of the leadership style assessment tools that I learned in the course to further assess our team members’ behaviors and styles.” Dr. Nay Htut Ko Ko, Programme Associate
World Vision, Myanmar
