Management & leadership
Being a manager today means achieving results with kindness. It means staying attentive while making decisions. It means anticipating the future while managing the day-to-day. In short, it is a mission as rewarding as it is complex, requiring us to rethink the way we work, organize ourselves, and collaborate.

Presentation of the program
Too often, we tend to forget that, in addition to achieving results, a manager must above all act as a facilitator, successfully coordinating the efforts of his or her team. An organization is often only successful when its team is competent, fulfilled and happy to contribute to the success of its objectives.
In short, a manager is the guarantor of a balance between efficiency and humanity. These two seemingly contradictory notions are far from being incompatible. Thanks to this program, you will discover how to integrate these two notions into your day-to-day professional life; on the one hand, to achieve better results and anticipate the future, and on the other, to create a climate of trust conducive to listening, innovation and sharing. To achieve these goals, we have created two distinct certificates, each with a different purpose.
In the first certificate in Change management, we focus on the managerial aspect, giving you the keys to developing your versatility and agility. In particular, we'll look at the notion of change and its impact on your business, enabling you to anticipate and manage it safely.
In the second certificate in Team management, we will move away from the operational aspect and refocus on the relational aspect. In particular, we'll try to improve your understanding of human behavior within organizations, so that you can identify positive social interactions for your team.
Finally, by combining these two programs, you can be sure of benefiting from a multi-disciplinary education that will enable you to become a responsible manager ready to meet the challenges of the future.
