Much is expected of employees, functional experts and up-and-coming management talent, who are to assume additional leadership responsibility. In order to fulfil or even exceed these expectations, solid managerial skills and leadership competence are required. This three-part seminar-programme supports striving decision-makers in deepening their management and leadership skills and to further develop their ability. 12 days in total.
Knowledge and ability are bottlenecks for sustainable business success because the complexity of managerial challenges are increasing. This management development programme is tailored to employees who face their first position with management and results responsibility, or who are planned for such a position. The disciplines of integrated management, such as holistic thinking, strategic management, process design, principles of leadership and organisation, corporate culture, marketing, financial management, and leadership will be treated, and interactively reinforced based on practical examples.
