The Role of the Managing Director
The Role of the Managing Director course is designed to equip you with the tools and knowledge to carry out this crucial and complicated position. Very few managing directors have formal training for the role and are expected to learn on the job.
Furthermore, serving as a managing director (MD) or chief executive officer (CEO) can be all-consuming, lonely, and stressful. Just three in five newly appointed MD/CEOs live up to performance expectations in their first 18 months on the job. Academic research demonstrates that traits such as drive, resilience, and risk tolerance make them more successful.
This course will cover not just the key skill sets of the managing director, but also the key mindsets and practices for excellence, and how the role is evolving more than ever.
Attendance at The Role of the Managing Director programme will help you in becoming a future leader. It will arm participants with the knowledge and practical skills required for developing, implementing and proactively leading and managing a successful organisation.
