Reviews

“We received information that I use both in my professional as well as private life. After the first module I understood what I used to do wrong in my relationship with the others. Now I am more confident in myself and I see the results of my team’s work. I have the courage to ask and give feedback. What can be more adequate than start a learning exchange process in spring and then feel how you grow together with the team.”
Antigona Orlic, Foster Care Centre, DGASPC Prahova

“The first module raised my interest in management and leadership models and I could easily identify myself in one of them. I started to receive answers about my identity as a leader and about the dysfunctionality of a manager’s habits who no longer gives themselves any personal time. Very soon I started to prioritize my objectives and tasks, to understand the important delegation is. I know today, at the end of the course, that I cannot change the organizational culture, but I can influence the organizational climate by adapting the management style to the individual values of my team members.”

Maria Ioniță, DGASPC Buzău

“In this program I learned how important feedback and feedforward are. I learned how to delegate part of my tasks. The course helped me be aware of the fact that each person is an immense resource for the team, and informal as well as formal feedback can change a persona and a whole team.”

Carmen Scripcaru, Manager at the Humanitarian Association “Il Chicco”
