BUSINESS representatives in the Shannon region are being encour- aged to attend a seminar on business strategy, later this week.
Entitled ‘Hidden Giants: How to lead your business successfully’, the event, organised by Shannon Cham- ber of Commerce, will take place at the Westpark Campus, on Thursday
morning, between 7.30am and 9am.
The seminar is specifically de- signed for business leaders. It will focus on the challenges faced by business leaders in the uncertain economic environment.
Mike Gaffney of LEAP will be the main speaker on the morning. His theories on leadership and manage- ment have galvanised several man- aging directors to take full respon-
sibility for the leadership of their businesses, resulting in significant, positive impact on their organisa- tions’ performances.
He will discuss the specific lead- ership challenges facing Irish busi- nesses and will examine how these challenges can be overcome.
The event is open to members and non-members of Shannon Cham- ber of Commerce. The entry fee for
members is €10 and €15 for non- members. A limited number of plac- es are available so the advice is to book as early as possible, to ensure you secure a place.
Given that this event will take place so soon after last week’s budget, a number of invaluable tips will be provided on the day, as some busi- nesses struggle in the face of the eco- nomic downturn.
