Introduction

This programme strengthens middle managers’ management and leadership competencies. They are equipped with cutting-edge management and leadership techniques – the ones needed to excel in their middle management roles, stand out within their organisations, and take their careers to the next level. Considering the competitive and ever-changing business environment, the programme focuses on enhancing entrepreneurial thinking. It equips middle managers with the skills necessary to remain agile in a volatile world and respond effectively to organisational challenges, as well as optimise their teams’ performance and lead with impact.
