Persuasive Training Proposal and Annotated Bibliography Name Institution Affiliation Training Proposal: VP, JP Morgan Chase & Co. Target Audience The training targets the top level employees that are in supervisory and management roles. These managers are in charge of supervising the junior employees so as to ensure achievement of the organisations goals. Introduction to the Training topic The training has been instigated from the realization that majority of leaders and managers in organisations like JP Morgan Chase & Co. are mainly highly trained in the technical specialties that is required to carry out their roles.
