As a leader, how often are you faced with difficult situations where the atmosphere at work gets very unpleasant because of personality conflicts and misunderstandings? How do you drive change and boost productivity under these conditions? How do you remain calm when dealing with resisting people? Which tactics do you use to get people’s buy-in and goodwill when they don’t want to listen to you? As a manager, how do you manage a strategic planning process or write a strategic business plan? Are you expected to be strategic in your thinking? If the answer is yes, then you need to get key business strategy skills and tools to develop the best strategic plan to support your company’s goals.
