Management Academy
Management Academy exists to enhance the value and productivity of key business managers through personal development, collaborative learning, tools and techniques, networking and mentoring, transforming them into stronger leaders for their organizations and the community.
Applications have closed for MA-13, beginning August 2022.

Overview
Annual ten-month program designed for leaders who manage significant, high-impact teams. Management Academy functions in a classroom setting and exists to enhance the value of even the best leaders. By exposing class members to local thought leaders and analyzing results-driven systems, Management Academy serves as the premier business leadership training academy in our area.
Program Content
Over ten years ago, a steering committee of local, experienced business leaders came together and created a syllabus outlining the essential skills they wanted to offer the managers and leaders in their organizations. From this brainstorming session, Leadership Greater Huntsville's Management Academy emerged.
Management Academy program days are organized around a different management or leadership topic each month. The content is presented through panel discussions, slide presentations, case studies, book reviews, storytelling, and skills exercises led by local business and community leaders who are subject matter experts in their fields.

"Management Academy provided invaluable leadership tools which helped me as I transitioned into a business unit leadership role at my company, and couldn’t have come at a better time. I found the Management Academy sessions in effective communication, motivation, team-building, and ethics particularly helpful and gained an incredible amount of insight from experienced leaders who had faced similar leadership challenges. I’ve taken other leadership training in the past, but Management Academy was much more useful because we were learning from experienced leaders who were knowledgeable of our industry."
