Becoming a Manager of the Future: Redefining Our Managerial Roles

Technology is changing the way we live and work. Culture itself is changing. Falling behind has always been a risk but the pace of change is faster than ever. "Kids these days" behave and think differently and yet they are the largest and most available workforce. Selecting, modifying, and utilizing the best of these new developments (technological and behavioural) can yield valuable results: reducing turnover, increasing productivity, spotting new opportunities. This training discusses new trends and changes in the business & corporate management world. What can managers do to thrive in new environments?
