After completing the workshop, people managers became aware of their own ability to foster an atmosphere of trust and high performance. Regarding the program's learning methodology, participants gave it favourable reviews. I’m confident that teams made up of certified managers will undoubtedly see a significant change in their leadership style.

I got the opportunity to take part in GMI's Great Manager Program last year. As a people manager, I valued the one-stop learning platform that allowed me to record my action plan, make any adjustments to it, as well as view my feedback. I wholeheartedly suggest this class to any working line manager who wants to learn practical methods for people management.
