Intermediate management skills

This two-day practical workshop covers the main areas of management relevant

others.
By the end of the event participants will have:
* identified their strengths for team work and leadership and explored
the fundamentals of group and team dynamics
* enhanced their practical management skills - conflict management,
interpersonal skills
* shared ideas and experiences with others at a similar level
All sessions require a high level of involvement and participation.
Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire and to bring it with
them to the workshop.
