Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much! Nowhere is this wisdom more visible and valuable than in business. No matter how great the leader or the idea or the money supporting it, no business will prosper in the absence of a strong team.

This course is part of the longer Effective Manager Programme, however, it is also available for purchase and completion as a separate programme.

 

Context

As we build our professional careers, we often grow from experts to managers and leaders. In this journey many /but not all/ will not have any formal management or leadership trainings – a sorry fact that multiplies many challenges, prevents successful collaboration and ultimately slows down professional careers.
