What you'll learn

This course will give you the insight and skills you need to become a more effective manager and leader of an international office. We will start by reviewing the context in which international offices operate, focusing specifically on strategy development, organisational models and increasing your influence. We’ll then delve into crucial management issues that cause the most concern: leadership, communication, and time management. Along the way you’ll participate in solution-oriented discussion, benefit from peer consultancy and pick up practical management tools to use in your work going forward.   

Who is it for?

The course is the perfect fit for those who have recently taken up a management position in an international office or similar organisational unit and those who are planning to do so in the future. More experienced managers will also benefit from the focus on specific management issues.  

Building on the EAIE on-demand online course Introduction to leadership, strategy and policy, this in-person course offers peer-to-peer learning opportunities. It takes interaction to the next level, delving deeper into the key topics of international office management.
