Leading your Managers - Cascading for Success Nasr City, Cairo

Course details

This course gives you an opportunity to critically review the new skills you will require to lead a team of managers. We deliberately move away from the common leadership topics such as leadership styles, team building and motivation, as the variety of information held within this course is designed to reflect the new perspective of managing managers. It will enable you to make an immediate impact and rapidly gain commitment to perform as a true senior management team.
