Requirements

• To get the greatest benefit from the course make sure you have notebook or personal journal to accompany you during the course. This is completely optional, but highly recommended.
• It can be in a digital format or on good old paper.
• This will allow you to make notes of your lessons learned and experiences you have with applying the course in your everyday work, making sure you get the greatest possible benefit from the course.

Target audience

• If you will be promoted to manager in the near future, just got promoted to your first management position or have been a manager for say 1-2 years, then this course is intended for you.
• This is a new manager training for developers, designers and others. It is not limited to a certain industry or occupation.
• No prior management or leadership knowledge is required.
• If you have been a manager for more than 2 years and have attended several other courses on management and leadership then this course is probably not for you. Or if you are looking for a course on how to create an engaging slideshow presentation or how to plan the budget of a project, then it is not for you either.
