Management Class
Add to Calendar 12/08/2014 8:30 am 12/08/2014 11:30 am Management Class Management programs often revolve around “ivory tower” concepts and theoretical contextual frameworks.

These areas include developing accurate and functional job profiles and identifying and hiring the best-fit candidates; supervising, coaching, training, and mentoring your people to attain greater levels of success and become more self-sufficient; helping your staff members align personal and professional goals with department and corporate goals; and planning and executing strategic growth initiatives for specific market segments, geographic territories, and targeted accounts.
