AN INSPIRING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME PACKED WITH PRACTICAL BENEFITS FOR MANAGERS

The role of the contemporary manager has changed significantly – the control and monitoring function has decreased, with two-way communication and real listening, support, direction, inspiration and integration of the team coming to the forefront.

No one is looking for a superstar manager anymore. What is being sought? A personality that is oriented towards collaboration, with the ability to direct the team as a whole and each person individually. The manager is no longer superior and is together with everyone else – humane, capable and interested. It is an important change in thinking, requiring the development of new skills. 

Company managers, we invite you to a development programme for the contemporary manager - The Diverse Faces of Leadership!

• Target audience for the event: high and middle level managers.
• Event venue: Hotel Jūrmala Spa.
• Event language: Latvian 

In this 2-day unique practical series of masterclasses, you will gain:

• knowledge of the latest trends;
• practical skills;
• methods and tools for everyday use;
• inspiration and energy for the new season;
