FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT SCIENTIST

Industry: Manufacturing

The course was beautifully presented. The course materials, discussions, real world examples, and the personal connection to issues brought up by participants was some of the best learning I have experienced.This course really made me do a lot of self inflection, and has me ready to begin tackling a lot of difficult issues that I did not know how to approach before taking this course. If anyone has issues with the political part of being a manager, I would recommend this course. It could even help people work with a difficult supervisor.
