Course Description: In theory, great leaders are built on a solid foundation. In practice, we’re often thrown into a leadership role without formal training or guidance on the core job functions. Management Essentials covers a variety of practical skills that apply to the day-to-day work of anyone supervising or managing a team. Each session includes key takeaways that can be implemented immediately within your organization.

Management Essentials is designed to provide an array of tools for those in supervisory roles, giving them the skills and confidence to recruit, build, and engage effective teams.
