Effective Management Skills for Professionals

4 day course

Overview

Promotion from specialist to manager is more than a change of title. It requires a whole new set of skills and ways of thinking. Too often managers struggle to find their new identity and so fail to make the transition successfully – they neither become good managers nor retain their professional expertise. This is a foundational course that provides an overview of key organisational and management skills. Participants gain insights into their new identity and grow in self esteem as they build increased competence.
