What is management development?
- Management development is about more than just acquiring and enhancing know-how and skills: it’s about changing attitudes and behaviour for the benefit of the individual manager and the organisation – and wherever possible creating inspiring leaders
Why is management development important?
- The skills and behaviour of managers affect all aspects of the organisation. Managers can inspire and motivate employees, or depress and de-motivate them. The direct and hidden costs of de-motivated teams, as well as the lost opportunities, can make the difference to organisational survival
- When management development is a coherent and consistent plan, managers and potential managers see their roles strategically and develop the skills and approaches to drive shared goals forward and support their teams appropriately – creating lasting change and successful organisations
- Management development releases potential and creates high value employees who make the bigger difference, directly contributing to success
- It has an enduring impact on and improvement in workplace performance
- It increases the value of human capital, drives organisational change, and is essential to competitive advantage
- It turns good managers into great leaders
