Program Introduction
Through an engaging online management case study by Chris Meneze, this course highlights how effective strategy and team dynamics can transform rivalry into collaboration. The course uses the symbolic story of a hare and tortoise—initially competitors, who later work together—to teach essential management lessons.
Key Learning Outcomes:
-
Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Learn how to solve problems at their core instead of just treating surface-level symptoms—critical for long-term business stability.
-
Teamwork: Understand how trust, communication, and shared goals create stronger teams.
-
Situational Leadership: Adapt your leadership style based on people, challenges, and environments.
-
Strategic Thinking: Make smarter decisions that align with your organization’s vision and goals.
-
Core Competency Development: Identify and build unique strengths that give your business a competitive edge.
-
Collaborative Thinking: Promote open dialogue, creativity, and unity in your team to achieve better outcomes.
Why It Matters:
Companies often fail when they grow but do not evolve. Leaders who rely on old methods often miss signs of change. This course helps you avoid that by focusing on modern management approaches, building core competencies, and collaborative problem-solving techniques.
A core competency, as defined by C.K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel, is a unique combination of skills, knowledge, and experience that offers:
-
Value to the customer
-
A competitive advantage that’s hard to copy
-
Versatility across different markets and products
By mastering this concept, you'll be better equipped to place the right people in the right roles and drive consistent business success.
