Surviving as a First-Time Manager

¥60.00

Description

Some people fall into management position, some people work their way up the ladder to get into management positions and others are placed into management positions based on the company need. It’s a career path that varies like no other.

As the speed of job transition is so fast in China, Young Professionals can find themselves placed in management positions in a much shorter period than they might expect back home.

Being promoted to manager for the first time can be both an exhilarating and a challenging experience. In this seminar, three young and experienced British managers share their tips and insights that have helped them transition more effectively into the role of manager.
