Concept
Younger managerial staff are nowadays in particular demand. One of their most important tasks lies in their function as a link between what Top Management wishes and prescribes, and which aspects of this are pertinent to and implemented at the operational levels.
Their role is thus that of a «transmission belt», which should generate results from strategies and projects. The greater the shift, the speedier strategic changes become necessary, and, consequently, the more important this role becomes.
The people «at the bottom» have to understand what those «at the top» have thought out and decided on. Staff satisfaction, confidence and the working towards common goals depend essentially on how well young managers succeed In carrying out this role.
The learning in this international intensive program is based on the subject-related input of outstanding lecturers as well as personal participation and the working through of real-life cases.
