SESSION OVERVIEW: This webinar will shed light on the common predicament faced by managers who have risen
through the ranks due to their technical expertise.

Drawing from real-world examples and insightful research, we will delve into the reasons behind this phenomenon and offer actionable solutions. The webinar will emphasize the necessity of providing managers with targeted cross-cultural training that aligns with their demanding schedules.
