Excellent People Management for Strategic Advantage

The rapid changing business environment, aggressive competitiveness, the war for talent and an era of quick obsoleteness have jointly necessitated the need for people managers. The ability to work with and lead people to their peak performance is a non-negotiable skill for every manager, leader and senior executives. This programme provides participants with a unique opportunity to accelerate the development of their people skills, whether they are focusing on managing the impact of change or transition. It will also aid them on building a high-performance team, and developing the trust, enthusiasm and mutual support of employees. This course is relevant when the leadership needs to tap into the emotional energy of the employees and forestall resistance, low morale and lack of consistent real effort.
