MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP

Fundamentals of Management

 

The role of a manager is to work with and through people by coordinating their work activities to accomplish organisational goals. This role is accomplished under the four basic functions of management – planning, organising, leading and controlling. Management should not be confined from the perspective of “top management” or large organisations only but should encompass everyone who has responsibility for overseeing the work activities and performance of other people in the organisation. This programme provides participants with a sound foundation of the fundamental concepts of management and the essential skills and competencies required to succeed in management.  It also serves as a building block for participants to develop more specific management competencies through other management development and programmes.
