Management is dead, at least traditional management is. No need to tell you what’s wrong with traditional management, you’ve probably experienced it yourself. And the results are outrageous, be it at company level, team level, and individual level; downright from project failures to complete demotivation of the staff. Managers need to evolve, or they simply won’t survive if they don’t bring solutions to the above problems. From traditional management to … Agile management and leadership. You, as an experienced manager or as a wannabe/junior manager, are in a key position to change this. By attending this 60-minutes talk, you’ll (re-)discover proven and actionable techniques to improve your management skills, foster team productivity, and keep morale and motivation atop. Yes, success is that close ;-)
