The Program focuses on developing a comprehensive understanding of talent and team management and is targeted at Business Managers with people management responsibilities and 3-8 years of experience.

The Program aims to address a modern business manager’s needs in terms of ability to bond, nurture and inspire the teams towards performance excellence since these are critical success factors. The Program will help the participants gain an understanding of the People Management Life Cycle, the roles they need to perform in this cycle, gauging the pulse of teams and inspiring talent.

Elaborating on the utility of the Program, Dr. Venkatesh Naga, Professor at Goa Institute of Management, who is the program facilitator, said “People Management is the most critical and toughest aspect that determines the success or otherwise for a manager. Managers tend to learn the techniques by trial and error methods. Sometimes they realize the need to improve the skills, but continue their life due to work pressure, there by sub-optimizing their performance.”
