OrderMotivation
Very few companies have a systematic leaders development program in place that equip people with the right tools. Rarely there is a systematic soft skills training available. This is why managers frequently work long hours and sacrifice their private life, while their development is chaotic – reading random books, articles on the Internet and attending conferences. We wanted to make a change by creating an effective training cycle that covers best, industry proven techniques for project management, personal and team productivity, interpersonal communication and making presentations.
