Course Description
- Do you need to convince others in the Council about the merits of your project?
- Do you believe that a good idea sells itself?
- Are you intrigued at the rapid rise through the organisation of some colleagues?
- Are you sometimes frustrated by the ‘invisible road blocks’ that get in the way of your good ideas or reports?
- Do you resent managers who seem to take no action against ‘problem’ staff?
