Course Introduction

To be an effective manager, whether in a supervisory, middle, or senior role, requires a blend of leadership and management skills. Developing these capabilities early in your career lays a strong foundation for future growth. As you shift from a functional role to a managerial one, the emphasis moves from executing tasks yourself to empowering others to achieve results.
