    Learning Outcomes

    To be successful in the modern, constantly changing, organizational environment, the modern manager is required to possess abilities that are much broader than the narrowly defined technical knowledge and skills. The successful manager is no longer the one who possesses knowledge but the one who possesses the appropriate personal abilities and which he can use appropriately both with his colleagues and with himself. In this context, the course “Development of Personal and Leadership Skills” aims to help participants, first, to record, analyze, discuss their personal abilities and then to “improve” them, as much as possible, within a safe environment through a series of processes with a very strong element of interaction. In this way, participants will cultivate skills that will be particularly useful to them both in the search and development of their professional career and development.
