On this two-week course from the University of Lincoln, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge you need to leverage culture.
Recognise the importance of organisational culture in motivating and engaging teams
As a manager, you set the tone for your organisation. A healthy organisational culture helps to motivate teams and boost their investment in organisation-wide goals.
