Overview
The transition to management is a major career milestone. A milestone that recognizes your achievements and contributions to the organization and suggests others see in you the potential to lead. However, success in management is based on more than technical or functional skills. The Management Incubator helps you build a strong foundation of core management skills to ensure your – and your team’s – success.
The program dives into all aspects of leadership and management. I highly recommend for all looking to go into management.
