The old models of managing and leading people are quickly fading away. The speed of business in this millennium requires an accelerated level of execution unthinkable in the late 1990's. Technical organizations, in particular, depend on creativity and intellectual horsepower to meet this challenge. People are their primary asset.

This course teaches managers of technical professionals how to deliver results--that matter--through others. It demonstrates the vast differences between management and leadership and concurrently assists the recipient in implementing behavioral changes that makes them more effective on the job. You will learn how to effectively meld your direct report's requirements with important organizational goals. In essence, this will broaden you in becoming more of a leader and less of a manager.
