Executive Program for General Managers

Why Enroll in this Course?

Did you know 70% of the U.S. workforce is disengaged (Gallup)? Therefore, qualified, productive, and compelling managers are essential to success. Studies show that the likelihood of employees being high performers is 15.4 times higher if they report to effective managers (Gartner 2023 HR survey). In today's economy and industry, a highly sought-after leader is a manager who can grasp technical skills, create a safe and accepting team environment, and communicate objectives.
