Course description
Introduction to Management - 2 day introductory management skills course - Live virtual training
People often forget that management is a profession in its own right, like any other, requires specific skills that go beyond the technical expertise any professional will no doubt have shown to be awarded a managerial role.

- Motivating and leading others
- Training new team members
- Dealing with conflict
- Delegating
- Communicating effectively
- Evaluating performance and giving feedback
