ETpedia Management

Description

ETpedia Management brings you 500 tips, ideas, and concepts to help you run an English language school. Over 50 list-based units, it covers everything from the basic principles of running a language school, department or organisation, to problem solving and growth management. You’ll find inspiration in each unit whether you’re managing for the first time or an experienced manager looking to further develop your skill set.

They’re also adaptable – you can use them as they are or develop them to suit your own context.

Throughout the book you will find quotes from experienced managers, Director of Studies. Here you’ll find school owners sharing their views, ideas and experiences on managing an English Language school or department.
