Managing & Motivating Towards Excellence: Skills, Competencies, Traits & Techniques

Introduction:

To create high levels of customer satisfaction and achieve the organizational mission, organizations must become “One Big Team Working Together”. Everyone must contribute their ideas, working together as internal customers.
