<\/p>\n Learning to manage undoubtedly is one of the most challenging and career-boosting skills to master. Whether it be managing one person or many departments, most managers face the tasks of solving problems, handling conflicts, and negotiating with co-workers and vendors\u2014and those are just for starters.\u00a0 But participants in the College of Business Administration\u2019s Executive & Professional Education\u2019s two-day Skills for Effective Management<\/em> program learn how to develop these skills for greater effectiveness on the job.<\/p>\n Managers from the Puerto Rico Tourism Company as well as from the university learned how to communicate more productively with co-workers, to create alternate solutions to seemingly dead-end problems, and to secure positive commitment and outcomes from those with whom they negotiate on a daily basis\u00a0 The course also covered strategies for mentoring, coaching, networking, and motivating staff.<\/p>\n \u201cThis program met all my expectations,\u201d said Nareiso A. Moreno<\/strong>, NE regional business development manager for the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. Taught by Ron Gilbert<\/strong>, associate professor in the Department of Management and International Business, the program gives participants a host of tactics for improving their leadership styles.<\/p>\n \u201cI was quite impressed,\u201d said Candice Coutain<\/strong>, office manager, Executive & Professional Education. \u201cThis was an excellent seminar; Gilbert was terrific in delivering the material and kept the class interesting and enjoyable.\u00a0 He made me comfortable so I could express myself.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe should offer this excellent course to our managers in order to complete their training,\u201d said Nyrma Morales<\/strong>, general manager for Latin America and the Caribbean, Puerto Rico Tourism Company. \u201cThis is a great seminar for top management as well,\u201d added Teresa Morales<\/strong>, regional director for the Puerto Rico Tourism Company.<\/p>\n
