Manager Toolkit

Welcome to the UC Berkeley Manager Toolkit. This collection of resources is BY and FOR managers. Its success as a resource depends on your participation and we encourage you to both use and improve it. The staff organization Berkeley Administrative Management Professionals (AMP) Management Council (MC) has agreed to take on the coordination of maintenance through crowdsourcing.

The Manager Toolkit is formatted as a Google Drive Folder that is available to anyone with a UC Berkeley email. Within the folder, several sub-folders are categorized by subject area for easy reference. A summary resource page with “Quick Start Tips” is provided in each folder, along with any resources that have been submitted in that category. It was created for senior administrative managers and directors from academic departments, research, and administrative organizations.

Toolkit Maintenence 

The staff organization Berkeley Administrative Management Professionals (AMP) Management Council (MC) has agreed to take on the coordination of maintenance through crowdsourcing.

• Campus open edit cycles: The Manager Toolkit Google folder will be open for suggested edits within the documents for a month period twice per year.
  • Mid-March to mid-April
  • October
• AMP MC will send out an invitation to managers (and other relevant groups) to review the Toolkit in whole or part, and to add comments and/or edits using the “Suggesting” edit feature in Google. People are also welcome to upload resource documents to the folders for each area of the Toolkit.
• AMP MC members or delegates will review and approve or disapprove the suggestions based on their best knowledge. Comments found to be useful for others to read will be added to the toolkit documents noting the date of the comment and source, if appropriate.
• Edits and contributions between cycles can be submitted via a form that will go to Berkeley AMP MC. The speed of updates between cycles will be determined based on urgency and the availability of AMP MC members.
  • UC Berkeley Manager Toolkit: Off-cycle Edit Form

The primary objective of the Manager Tool Project Team was to consolidate information, resources, and tools into a manager toolkit to be used for orienting new managers as well as experienced managers support. Upon completion of the first iteration, the staff organization Berkeley Administrative Management Professionals (AMP) accepted the maintenance of the toolkit. Goals for the initiative were to enable better communication, enhance manager confidence and knowledge around UC policies and procedures, and facilitate best practices and knowledge sharing between campus units.
