This program explores how general managers get work done. They must manage others who have more knowledge about certain functions than they themselves, integrate those different perspectives into a comprehensive action plan and hold others accountable for implementation while maintaining responsibility for the success of the enterprise. When the general manager is leading an effort to implement strategies that require staff members to think and act in new ways, the challenge becomes even greater.
