Managing the Organization From the Top

This is not a course on the total job of a top executive. Rather, it focuses on how top managers under utilize subordinate managers to their own detriment and that of the organization. The course shows how top executives can create a subordinate management team that will produce consistently high results with a minimum of top-level involvement, freeing top management for their important entrepreneurial and public relations functions.

This program enables each participant to clearly identify the unique accountability of each level of management. Additionally, the participants will develop a managerial role and expectation for the level below them. Moreover, they will master the process of causing meaningful managerial activities to take place on a sustained basis.

This course is highly participative with the use of reality-based case problems. The participants are involved in each major step of the program by doing group work.
