Increasing Managerial Effectiveness

Accelerated Management
Programme
Transitioning from a functional expert into a general manager represents a substantial
step up in leadership and responsibility. The one key difference is the shift from
managing a function to managing a business. You must rely on the right managerial
skills of working with people and processes to make good decisions, implement change,
and drive results. This means, gaining a deep understanding of not just one, but all
of the business functions and developing a style of leadership that’s effective and
inspirational.

There are three key learning areas that new general managers must address -
knowledge of the different functional areas and how these diverse functions enable
overall business success; shift in focusing on the relatively short-term goals of a function
to the medium and long-term strategic goals of a business, and finally, the transitioning
from the role of a ‘doer’ to the role of managing through a team, especially in an ever-
changing business landscape.

The Accelerated Management Programme helps you make this transition successfully
and grow into your new role with confidence.
