How do managers learn to manage?

Abstract

Discusses the way in which managers can learn how to be effective managers. Considers the value of the management literature noting that changes in management practice have resulted from external conditions and trends, rather than from theories. Stresses that the human aspects can only be learnt by personal experience and by working under “good” and “bad” managers; however experience is of limited value unless one constantly thinks and feels about the experience.
