Learning to become a leader is a life long skill that can be applied in many different stages of your professional career. This workshop, led by instructor Maria Bernier, will guide new managers through the management of people and problems. You’ll talk about the role of the manager, managing up as well as down, hiring, performance management, evaluation, letting someone go, and managing yourself. The workshop will also cover methods for dealing with non-personnel problems.
