Managing People Course

A Distance Learning Course of 10 Lessons
Course Description

Management is a broad concept. Trying to encapsulate it in a single definition is bound to be a tricky process. Peter Drucker (The Practice of Management, Heinemann Ltd, 1955) commented: 'Management is a practice rather than a science.' This is somewhat self-evident, but to try to make rules for successful management, in the same way as a chemical process, ignores the main element of variability. 

The aims of this course are to look at the ways mangers work towards organisational harmony within the context of the organisational culture and development. There is significant emphasis on teams and individuals and their roles within the organisation.

Furthermore emphasis is given to effect management communication and planning with a view to achieving organisational success. Before finally concentrating on effective management techniques that can be employed in monitoring and controlling employees.

Job Interview Skills

Getting the job you want is not about following rules or giving the 'right' interview answer. It is about presenting yourself in the most authentic way that takes care of you and the interviewers at the same time. So many people throw their chances away: they do not take enough care and interview preparation time so that the whole process is enjoyable, stimulating and informative for both parties. This section aims to show you how.

The Effective Learner Course

This section will consider the importance of study skills and how we can identify and enhance our current skill set. We will then take a closer look at different learning styles and how knowledge of our own preferences in this area can make our learning more effective.
