Effective Management Bootcamp

The majority of today’s start ups are founded by entrepreneurs with a tremendous amount of vision and ambition but little in the way of management education and experience. These founders then learn how to manage while on the job with varying degrees of success.

While many do eventually learn how to lead and manage people, this process is a long and painful one, and can frequently cause setbacks to the founder and the business. The intent of this workshop is to provide individuals with the management know how and expertise that will help them make their vision a reality.
