Start the Year Strong: A Message from Learning & Development 

Start the Year Strong: A Message from Learning & Development

As the buzz of a new academic year returns to campus, it’s a perfect time to reset, refocus, and recommit to growing as leaders. At Georgia Tech, we know that how we lead matters, especially during times of transition. That’s why the Learning & Development team is proud to launch this year’s leadership learning theme: Leading Through a Lens of Well-Being. 

Here at Georgia Tech, we refer to supervisors and managers as People Leaders, because your impact reaches far beyond day-to-day operations. You play a critical role in shaping the engagement, productivity, and overall well-being of our community. Whether you’re leading faculty, staff, or student employees, your influence helps create an environment where people feel valued and connected. This year, we’re placing special emphasis on well-being, resilience, and emotional intelligence as essential leadership strengths — not just because they foster a positive workplace, but because they are key drivers of performance, retention, and collaboration across the Institute. 

Your Learning Roadmap 

The Learning & Development team has curated a robust set of offerings for the fall semester to support your growth in the areas that matter most. We’ve aligned live courses, asynchronous options, and curated LinkedIn Learning content with what we’re hearing from leaders across campus. 

Fall 2025 Courses for Leaders: 

  • Leading Your Team Through Change (LinkedIn Learning – 21 mins) 
  • Psychological Safety 101 (Georgia Tech – Asynchronous) 
  • Emotional Intelligence for Leaders (In Person)

Where to Start

As campus comes alive again, let’s commit to leading with purpose, care, and presence. When leaders embrace well-being as a leadership strategy, they unlock more than productivity — they create trust, engagement, and a thriving workplace culture.
