What is this course about?
The development of management skills can be achieved in different ways. Some people have a natural aptitude; some learn through trial and error; some have experience in other companies; some are trained on the job by the previous incumbent or their peers and some have had training from an outside agency. With these different approaches, it is wise to come together to pool ideas and practices which work – for the good of the individual and the organisation.
This course has been devised to examine current practices; discuss ideas and formulate strategies for the current and future management of the company. The emphasis will be on building on good practice; developing confidence and encouraging innovation.
