BRIDGING THE GAP: FROM SPECIALIST TO MANAGER

COURSE OVERVIEW

Managing business operations and people is a daunting task in itself, while moving from a specialist or technical role to one which involves general and people management responsibilities comes with even more unique challenges.

As a specialist, you have come to depend mostly on yourself for the effective delivery of job related objectives. However, once you become a manager, you are responsible for achieving results through others, managing workplace dynamics, and juggling the management of day to day business operations with managing people needs, emotions and aspirations.

To assist people in managing the transition from a specialist role to a management role, AstroTech is offering a training programme called "Bridging The Gap: From Specialist to Manager".
