Effective Management Skills
Effective Management Skills
Everyone agrees that the most important asset of any organization is the human asset. Thus, the all-important question becomes – How much-untapped potential, energy, commitment, and creativity currently exists within your organization, team, or department? What would it mean to your culture and bottom line if you could learn to unleash just 10% more of the latent human potential?
Participants will deepen their understanding of motivation, engagement, delegation/empowerment, and practical feedback skills in this interactive (NO role plays), high-energy, and thought-provoking course.
Participants will learn proven, powerful, and practical strategies and techniques that will last a lifetime and can be applied the next day.
