Description
As a young manager, junior staff or a specialist with responsibility, you have ideas that you want to bring to your company and you want to make a difference. There are lots of things to improve, optimize and change. If there is anything missing, it’s experience. You haven’t learned what working for an organization for many years can teach you. Knowledge that is expensive to come by – through tests, paying for coursework, through systematic learning. But primarily, you do not yet know the difference between good management and bad management, which management models in which situation lead to objective-attainment, what tools and methods you need to think holistically in specific real-world situations and how to always work in a result-oriented way. In short, you have yet to learn the art of holistic corporate management. The good news is – this knowledge you can learn. For many years, our lecturers have pursued the goal of making management knowledge teachable and learnable. They have analyzed countless case studies from the business world. They have met with companies, CEOs, those responsible for management development and Human Resources, along with management and staff to learn the factors for successful, effective management; and they have read international studies and publications. All of this with the goal of extracting from the multitude of business models, teachings, false teachings and passing fads the content of this program in condensed form.
The 2-part International Junior Management Program teaches you all of this. It will help you fill the gaps in your experience, avoid unnecessary management mistakes, improve your social competence, to differentiate between correctly-conceived approaches from those that are wrong. You will profit directly from the condensed knowledge about right management this program has to offer.
Who should attend
This program was created especially for young executives, junior management and staff, project managers and specialists from all areas of business who want to learn – in a concise and condensed form – the tools needed for good and correct management.
