Being a Chartered Manager gives you the tools to take on a challenge
Matthew Carr CMgr FCMI.After being awarded Chartered Manager of the Year 2019 at the prestigious CMI President’s Dinner, ex-Royal Navy officer, Matthew Carr, shared his experiences with us on the project that earned him his well-deserved win.
"The Chinese have a concept called Guanxi," he says, "It’s about getting things done through who you know."
“How do you fit out a science lab when you know nothing about science? We were asking so many people to trust us. I was just a foreign guy in China, why would they listen to me? I had to convince people to share the dream of this school based on a building site in a remote field."
Matthew is just one of the thousands of Chartered Managers using it to harness their full potential, for their employers and themselves. With 83% becoming better managers for it, and 73% going on to exceed their targets as a result, who knows?
Our next Chartered Manager of the Year could be you.
