Management Development

Management Development
Management Development is best described as the process from which managers learn and improve their skills not only to benefit themselves but also their employing organizations. [1] In organisational development (OD), the effectiveness of management is recognised as one of the determinants of organisational success. Therefore, investment in management development can have a direct economic benefit to the organization. Managers are exposed to learning opportunities whilst doing their jobs, if this informal learning is used as a formal process then it is regarded as management development. In 2004 the spend per annum per manager on management and leadership development was 1,035, an average of 6.3 days per manager. [2]

What management development includes

The term 'leadership' is often used almost interchangeably with 'management.' Leadership which deals with emotions is an important component of management which is about rational thinking.[1] The Management Charter Initiative (MCI) originally set out management competencies for management S/NVQs, these competencies are now part of the National Qualification Framework (NQF), it is from these competencies that managers can be assessed and development needs determined. To enhance the skills, knowledge and abilities to improve organizational mechanisms.
