The 2015 U-M Management Conference provides a forum for the University’s managers, at all levels, to learn best practices, hone managerial skills and increase self-knowledge. It includes a keynote, breakouts and new for this year, the U-M Management Conference Mash-Up.

This year’s keynote: Sarita Maybin, Leadership 2015: Communicating for Success

In this upbeat and interactive keynote, Sarita Maybin will reveal what she has gleaned from leaders and their employees during her 20-year professional speaking career. She will provide strategies to address the #1 complaint she has heard from employees which is supervisors NOT effectively confronting conflict situations. She will also share real-life solutions based on her own university administration experience and her book, If You Can’t Say Something Nice, What DO You Say?.
