FAQ

  • A strategy course for Middle Managers?

    Yes! You are the "boots on the ground" who get it done and need to know more. Sure, you are the "doers" of the organization; but you also need to be "thinkers and doers" for your unit within the organization. Consider our friend TJ. She needs to anticipate and plan for needed changes to her unit’s role in the business. If not, she and they will become irrelevant. She's a pragmatic strategist.
