Essential Management Provides new and experienced managers in growing businesses with the skills required to become commercially-focussed, confident members of the senior team. Here at 美姬阁, we are passionate about helping managers and teams realise the potential of their businesses.
Leaders of small to medium-sized enterprises need to spend more of their time working ON the business strategically rather than IN it. They will be enabled to do so if their Managers have the skills to take on more delegated responsibility for delivering business goals and targets and driving day to day performance.
Our experience suggests that many managers are already overstretched, and require training and development if they are to manage time, people, money and processes more effectively.

What the participants think:
"Just a note to say what an excellent programme I thought 'Essential Management' was. For someone without a great deal of management training it was hugely beneficial and I feel far better equipped to take our business forward. I now look forward to the challenge of implementing everything I have learnt! Thanks again!"
Matthew Scrivens, ABSCO Materials
