Evolving into the Manager’s Role

Skip to Scheduled Dates

Course Overview

The manager’s role is very different from that of the non-manager. Managers must be able to develop and unify team members, plan strategically, set goals, delegate responsibilities, provide meaningful and effective feedback, and communicate efficiently and effectively.

Private classes on this topic are available. We can address your organization’s issues, time constraints, and save you money, too. Contact us to find out how.
