Course Summary

No matter how experienced a port or terminal manager or supervisor you may be, the ability to manage your business is the one attribute that will help to differentiate you from others in your role. Equally importantly learning how to be a better manager will enable you to progress in your career, while permitting your organisation to gain the maximum benefit from your skills.

But, being able to make effective managerial decisions isn’t just about choosing a ‘Yes’ or a ‘No’ based on the information in front of you. Much more than that, it’s about being able to find a compromise, often between complex and conflicting parameters.
