Gower handbook of management development - Alan Mumford

Gower Handbook of Management Development brings together a distinguished team of contributors from a variety of backgrounds. Their contributions range over the entire spectrum of management development, covering principles, processes and practice. A constant theme is the need to match management development schemes and activities to the needs of specific organizations and the contributions, though widely differing in their origin, all derive from actual experience and are all concerned with application. - - Two key features of the book are the attention paid, firstly, to the relationship between management development and managerial effectiveness, and, secondly, to the way in which our knowledge about how managers learn can be applied. - - This Handbook offers an array of information, stimuli and practical guidance that will appeal powerfully to management development practitioners, consultants, personnel specialists and indeed anyone seriously concerned with improving managerial effectiveness.
