SBUS41970 Driving Rev & Profit Growth

Academic Year 2024/2025

This module will assist participants to understand how managing top talent is a common problem and subsequently identify best practices for managing & developing talent within their organizations. As high-performers disproportionately contribute to an organization’s performance and tend to be highly mobile, managing them presents unique challenges. This module will identify a number of techniques that will be beneficial to allow participants both to be effective in their careers, and to successfully develop talent in a managerial capacity. It will allow them to understand that managing talent is not a zero-sum game and one can both motivate the high-performers, whilst encouraging other organizational members.
