Management Development is an ongoing and fundemental learning process
Actively participating in Management Development can be the difference between mediocre and great managers. Great people Managers at all levels are vital for organisational success. The recent Government’s Skills for Sustainable Growth consultation shows that the UK has a management skills deficit compared to other countries. The main development needs were identified around managing stress, conflict and absence effectively and providing support when employees are facing problems
Stephanie Bird of CIPD reported “Last year’s government-commissioned review of employee engagement highlighted the link between effective leadership and people management skills, enhanced employee engagement and improved business performance. Yet the UK invests less in management development than its main international competitors, and its managers are rated less positively by employees.”
Management skills range from people centred leadership skills to great business skills in helping leaders and organisations to realise their vision. Management development can harness performance management and measurement, to produce great results. It all depends on the organisations needs.

- Understanding the employment framework
