TO SPEAK WITH A PROGRAM REPRESENTATIVE
“In an ever-changing business landscape, one thing that hasn’t changed is that the energy, synergy and productivity we count on to move an enterprise forward are determined by how people work together. The only people who become great managers are those who understand that
managing is not merely a series of mechanical tasks, but a set of human interactions.”
