Diplomacy as a success factor for managers

The smart way to achieve your business goals

This training is held in German.
As a manager, you are often caught between the pressure to perform and the interests of your colleagues. When we need good relationships, it is too late to build them. Time and resource-consuming discussions often do not produce the desired result. This creates tensions that affect your ability to achieve your goals. This training course is about the art of diplomacy, which you can use to strategically set up and expand your portfolio of actions. Steer your vision and your team to success with composure and diplomatic tools.
