As a member of management, writing is vital to the success of your team, projects, and career.
You are called to write documents that will be used to represent your organization, as a catalyst to garner resources, or to position your group for success.
Due to the increased usage of technology, the importance of high-impact communication has increased as well. As a leader, there is not ample time to be visionary, manage projects, develop people and be a prolific, proficient writer.
TrainSMART’s Writing for Leadership workshop has been developed with the demands of a leader in mind. It focuses on providing practical techniques to write reports, summaries, evaluations, emails, etc. with higher quality and in less time.
This is a hands-on, course developed by former senior managers, who have experience as editors of publications and recognize the demands of being a leader in a corporate environment.
