DESCRIPTION:
Many of us struggle to maintain control of our time and our workload. Some of us find it challenging to manage other people. Being unable to say “no” to colleagues (senior and junior), or experiencing difficulties in guiding/directing people can hold us back and make our working environment unfulfilling and even unpleasant.
