College of Business<\/a>\u00a0is leading the university initiative in partnership with Information Technology Services to\u00a0provide\u00a0this self-paced management training, giving\u00a0business\u00a0students a unique opportunity to gain essential leadership skills and hands-on experience with\u00a0cutting-edge\u00a0AI tools at no cost.<\/p>\nFSU is one of the first institutions in the country to\u00a0offer the Google People Management Essentials course.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited about our partnership\u00a0with\u00a0Google, one of the world\u2019s most prominent tech companies, and the\u00a0benefits\u00a0it will\u00a0offer\u00a0our students,\u201d said Michael D. Hartline, dean of the College of Business. \u201cThis collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to prepare students for the transformative effects of AI on workplaces and society, ensuring they graduate with\u00a0the\u00a0relevant, in-demand skills\u00a0necessary\u00a0for\u00a0a rapidly changing\u00a0world.\u201d<\/p>\n
People Management Essentials is an eight-hour, self-paced course developed by the Google School for Leaders, Google\u2019s center for leadership development. Taught by Google experts, the program equips new and aspiring managers with practical skills to build high-performing teams, set and achieve goals, support individual\u00a0growth\u00a0and invest in their own development.<\/p>\n
A key feature is hands-on experience with AI tools such as Gemini and\u00a0NotebookLM, empowering\u00a0participants\u00a0to incorporate artificial intelligence into their daily management activities \u2014 ranging from setting\u00a0specific,\u00a0measurable,\u00a0achievable,\u00a0relevant\u00a0and\u00a0time-bound (SMART) goals to developing project plans and customizing communications for a variety of audiences.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Google, we\u2019ve seen firsthand how investing in managers creates a more effective, collaborative and supportive environment for all and drives business outcomes,\u201d\u00a0said Brian Glaser, chief learning officer at Google.\u00a0\u201cWe believe the principles behind effective management are universal. By sharing what\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0learned, we hope to empower leaders and their teams to thrive in any organization.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glaser added, \u201cWe believe that great managers create great teams. By making our foundational management principles accessible to everyone, we hope to empower the next generation of leaders to build a better future for teams, one manager at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n
