Monthly Management Tips (MMT) are brought to you by Administration Leadership 2029’s “Work from Home Management Solutions” team. Each month, the team, in conjunction with Campus Human Resources, will distribute a brief article discussing a different topic important to management’s success. Each article is designed with busy managers in mind, taking only a few minutes to read, with various resources and a scenario to help you gain a better understanding of the topic. Solutions to the scenario can be found in the next month’s email. Active discussion of these scenarios during management meetings is highly encouraged and we hope these discussions will encourage dialogue across management levels where success stories are shared.
[Subscribe to our newsletter](https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/jjyPr5L) and email us at [managementtips@ucla.edu](mailto:managementtips@ucla.edu) if you have feedback, questions or a suggested topic you would like to learn more about.
