    Course Description

    Plan of action

    Often people who perceive they are in the middle of opposing views get frustrated. They don’t realise that everyone is often in between opposing views. A prime example is your CEO. If you think a CEO is not stuck in the middle you are completely wrong. CEOs spend their careers managing various expectations and get a fair amount of dissatisfaction from angry stakeholders. Consider a school principal. School Principals walk a tightrope between employee expectations, legislative requirements and a child’s wellbeing every day.

    This program helps participants manage the relationship with their manager and the relationship with their direct reports simultaneously.
