4 Recent Comments: It is lonely as a manager. I was glad I was able to share my challenges with other managers of managers. The class exceeded my expectations. I wish the class would have been available 5 years ago and I hope I can convince my boss to go. I didn't get a chance to take you aside to give you some feedback about the Manager 201 course that we had prior to the Asian Management Conference. It was in a word...outstanding. My colleagues and I are in agreement that it was one of the most valuable Milliken internal classes that we have taken in a long, long time. We found the subject matter very applicable to what we are doing in our jobs, the team interaction and discussions very valuable both to share knowledge/experience to our other colleagues and to put the course material in practice. It was also a good chance to network and interact with associates across divisions and geographical locations which we do not often get a chance to do. Nicole, John, and Kevin did an excellent job keeping us all engaged and their preparation was spot-on. I even practiced my coaching skills in our breakout session on Wednesday. It's amazing how it works! I hope to see more classes like this offered to us! I am going to recommend this class to my boss, which is an SLT member. This class should be given to managers at the point of taking on new responsibilities, not after years of learning the HARD way, Great class. Strongly recommend class. I learned several tools that will help me communicate/develop my team. Great class, I got the most out of all the interactions. Participants
