Course description
Many talented managers 'derail' when making the transition into general management. Specialist knowledge, technical skills and high levels of motivation have made them successful to date, but new capabilities are now required to be effective at the next level. Taking on a broader, more strategic role requires an ability to work with multiple realities that arise out of cross-functional tensions and conflicts. Building trusting relationships, developing broader networks and influencing through more levels in the organisation means managing through a different kind of conversation.
The Accelerated Development Programme (ADP) recognises your needs at this key stage in your development and offers you the unique opportunity to test your range of abilities to think, feel, behave and speak like a general manager. The Accelerated Development Programme's process and content structure you will strengthen your personal, interpersonal, organisational and strategic knowledge skills.
