About Workshop
WHY THIS COURSE IS IMPORTANT?
In the context of a highly competitive business environment, the need for professionalism cannot be over - emphasised. This should apply to all levels of employees as professonalism entails:
- Acquisition of Knowledge
- Development of Skills
- Adherence to Disciplines
- Functioning as a Leader
Considering the challenging role of the modern Secretary towards maximising and enhancing the Boss's performance, it is imperative that they function with a professional focus. Quite often we find Confidential Secretaries functioning as glorified Stenographers.
In a fast changing business environment, it is important that the Confidential Secretary clearly understands the new, dynamic role she has to play and focus on developing management skills.
They say that "Behind every successful man there is a woman". By the same token it is not wrong to say that "Behind every successful Executive is a competent Confidential Secretary". The Modern Secretary, thus has a more dynamic role to play in maximising the productivity of high powered Executives.
She should be well equipped and well versed with modern Management disciplines and function as a Professional Manager - in fact, she should manage the Boss.
This intensive Training Seminar has been carefully designed and developed over the years to achieve this objective. The methodology employed will facilitate effective interaction and develop a positive approach and a winning attitude.
