Inhaltsangabe

This study puts the increasingly critical aspect of management development into a context that links it to both effectiveness and the organization. Change is now an integral and inevitable aspect of business. It is essential that managers achieve higher-order competencies, and equip themselves to learn and develop throughout their careers. Self-development strategies should play a vital role in this, and this book demonstrates the ways in which the individual can assess: their competencies and capabilities and their needs for the future; the importance of relating the competencies they need to the resources and opportunities of self-development within companies and in the broader NVQ and MCI contexts; how to undertake meaningful self-development in the light of changing organizational and environmental circumstances; and the achievement of increased managerial independence, adaptability and employability through self-development. There can be no doubt that there is an overwhelming need for self development to improve and enhance knowledge, skills, competence, attiudes and behaviour. The skills and activity-based approach of this book provides an understanding of the ways that this can be achieved for students, trainers and managers studying business at NVQ levels 4 and 5.
