BECOMING A LEADER: STRATEGIES & TOOLS FOR NEW & EMERGING LEADERS

Employees who are deservingly promoted into managerial positions because they do well in their current jobs but they often need additional support and better preparation if they're to successfully manage and lead others.

This program focuses on equipping managers with the knowledge and tools they need to effectively manage people and increase productivity in their areas of responsibility.
