Who May Attend

The Programme has been specifically designed for Senior executives in Public/Private Sector, Multinational and Government Organisations, both Central and State. A minimum of five years of senior management experience and the age group 30-50 years is a desirable consideration. Our experience shows that an organisation gets an optimum return from the Programme when it sponsors a team of 2 - 4 senior managers who have direct work relationships and who, on return to the organisation, can draw upon each others skills to transfer the learning to the work situation. Although Managerial Leadership and Conflict Resolution is designed for managers from any functional department such as Production, Operations, Finance, Marketing, etc. HRD Managers may find it especially useful
