develop their knowledge and skills, and this workshop provides the
opportunities for experienced managers to review their current management
and leadership skills and identify ways of improving them.
The workshop covers a range of topics and themes that are in demand by
experienced managers. Delegates will have the opportunity to learn a range
of management and leadership skills and techniques. This course is designed
to give experienced managers the opportunity to develop their managerial
skills and practices and build their confidence in dealing effectively with
more demanding situations and projects. It will also enable them to become
more strategic in their thinking and actions in the workplace.
