Managing By Influence

A top performer needs different skills than an effective manager does. This program is about stepping up into the managerial role.

We will explore social learning as a tool to nurture innovation and productivity. Looking at the types of political games inherent in an organisation, we will examine when and how these can positively advance your organization’s goals. Business growth, large or small, demands entrepreneurial thinking. What techniques can help you uncover new opportunities and influence success? Finally, we will see how you can better understand the culture of your organization and promote positive change.
