Two-day seminar on management principles
Managing others may not be complex, but it is certainly not easy. Often, simple, straightforward principles can be difficult to implement.
Designed for practicing managers, this program focuses on the practical understanding and application of management principles. The program will teach the fundamentals of management from different angles, such as managing oneself, organizational life, and others. Management requires judgment, and participants should expect to grapple with ambiguous situations that do not have simple solutions.
