    The successful manager nowadays is not the one who possesses the technical or managerial knowledge but the one who has developed appropriately the necessary personal skills to use this knowledge effectively. The current course attempts to “assist” students in developing these competencies, through a program of self-assessment and evaluation with a strong emphasis on interaction with colleagues.

    The objectives of the course are the following:

    • Students’ self-assessment of their personal skills
    • Applications of personal skills at work
    • Using personal skills in job search activities and career management
