Strengthening the general management to grow the business
General management can make a real difference — the experience of thousands of companies proves it. When leadership changes, the company reaches a turning point. In the best cases, what once seemed impossible becomes reality. And sooner or later, it all shows in the results.
The role of general management is not simple — and it’s not for everyone. It requires understanding, courage, and the ability to positively influence others. Intelligence, boldness, and interpersonal skills.
Above all, the ability to feel responsible for the mistakes — and successes — of your team.
This program helps you recognize your strengths and areas for improvement, and guides you through a growth journey — for yourself, and for your organization.

Who should apply
The program is aimed at entrepreneurs, CEOs, General Managers, CFOs, business unit leaders, and professionals responsible for performance improvement initiatives.
It is also intended for those who are about to take on entrepreneurial or general management roles.
