How do we make management development effective?

Abstract

Analyses the business context of management development in the late 1990s, and presents some surprising survey results on the effectiveness of development methods ‐ results which challenge many of our past assumptions. Describes two central “principles” of effective management development today: “Work hard at developing people” and “Go for benefits with little cost”. Illustrates these principles with assessment and development planning applications.
