Course Description

The Self-Management course is a holistic approach to living a successful and composed life.
Self-management is a broad term but encompasses some quite complex skills and
understandings that only come with guidance, training, opportunity, and experience. Self-
management is the art of independent learning, working and taking responsibility for
personal actions. Self-management is the act of managing the resources you have under
your control: your personality, character, time, image and relationships.

Professional management in management sciences falls under the purview of Self-

Management. From graduation until the time students begin to manage project teams, and
companies, they have to manage themselves. Those who master the art of self-
management are those who rise quickest to management positions.
