Leadership distance learning course for new managers

The starter kit for your management entry - practical and flexible

This distance learning course is held in German.
In the new position of manager, more than just professional competence is required - encouraging, motivating and supporting play a much greater role. Making decisions is no longer enough in today's working world. New working models, virtual communication, agility and generational change are challenging teams to take on more responsibility. But what makes a successful manager? Control or trust? Consistency or flexibility? Challenge or encourage? In order to master these challenges with confidence, you need a clear understanding of leadership and the right tools. In our distance learning course, you will get to know the most important management tools and methods and will be able to apply them confidently and practically. Whether team leadership, communication or self-management - this course provides you with the best possible support as you enter your new role. You learn at your own pace, flexibly and from any location. In addition, you can deepen your knowledge in four online seminars and exchange ideas with experts .

The distance learning course "Leadership for new managers" has been tested and approved by the State Central Agency for Distance Learning (ZFU) in Cologne under the number 7463124.
