Managers Course

MANAGERS' COURSE (MC)

RATIONALE

It has been rightly said that a second-class business project in the hands of a first-rate manager has more chances to succeed than a first class project being handled by a second-rate leader. Indeed, a business enterprise stands to profit greatly from the planning, controlling, problem solving and decision-making skills of a well-trained and competent manager.
