Planning an executive development programme

Abstract

Preparing a one‐month course for any group of adult students presents problems. When the course is for middle and senior managers, things may be that much trickier. Apart from anything else there is no general agreement on what the content of a management course should be, but — particularly with a group of this sort — there will inevitably be a wide variation in experience, educational background and training. Probably most important of all, however, managers tend to be doers rather than thinkers: they are generally not academically inclined and do not take kindly to the passive role of an attentive student.
