Intended for:
For managers of different experience levels for improving people management skills.
Challenge:
The daily life of a manager is filled with tasks, duties and challenges: communicating with employees, managing daily operational tasks, achieving strategic goals. Often these goals have to be achieved under conditions of increased stress and despite the misunderstanding or resistance of those around.
How can a leader cope with these quite or "human-orchestral" challenges?
The good news is that there is a practical solution to this challenge! True, more nuanced questions need to be answered on the way to it. What are the roles of a manager? How to effectively communicate with the team? How to drive change and development? How to deal with employee resistance? How to delegate? What to devote your time and energy to? How does a Manager grow to the role of Leader?
Answers to these questions - in the seminar "Management of People" by Kārlis Apkalns.
