How to become a badass manager and CEO

What is the aim of this course?

It’s not easy to transition first from an efficient specialist to a manager and later on to an outstanding CEO. What made you a great specialist quite often is a problem at a manager level. You have to totally switch the way you work and on what you concentrate. The same goes for your transition from manager to CEO. Being a CEO is not just managing a bigger team or more senior team. If you want to be successful you have to fully redefine your role, unlearn some things and learn new skills.

Most of the people have problems with those sort of transitions. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. This old saying is unfortunately very true when you move to managerial positions. You tend to continue doing things that made you successful but what I got you here won’t get you there.

This course will help you redefine your role and transition from a specialist to a manager and later on to a CEO. I will provide you clear guidelines what and how to do in order to be efficient and effective manager as well as CEO. In this course you will learn 5 things

1. How to be an efficient and effective manager

2. How to be an efficient and effective CEO

3. How to understand the business from the position of a CEO

4. How to improve the business as a CEO

5. How to make your business strategically sustainable

The course is based on my 14 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting companies and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, improvement and turn-arounds in biggest companies from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B and services sector that I worked for. On many occasions I had to grow, coach and supervise manger, directors and CEOs.  On the basis of what you will find in this course I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts and managers who now are CEOs, Board Members , Operational  Directors, COO, Investment Directors, Directors in Consulting Firms, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 40 000 students.

I teach through cases and provide practical tips without too much beating around the bushes

Why I decided to create this course?

Transitioning form a specialist to a managerial position is extremely difficult. Still, most of your supervisors will not really provide you much support and guidance. That you may need. That’s why I have decided all the practical tips and rules of thumbs that I have learned over the last 14 years into this course. The course will provide you not only with interesting applicable tips but also a roadmap how to proceed once you become a manager or a CEO. The more difficult part is obviously the transition to CEO position regardless of the size of the firm / business. That’s why I will devote to this part more time and attention.  Thanks to this course, you will know what and how to do when you will be promoted to a manager or CEO position.

To sum it up, I believe that if you want to be a successful manager and CEO you should master techniques, rules and tips that I will show in this course. That is why. I highly recommend this course not only to young managers, entrepreneurs and future CEOs .
