Board & Management Development HB

Out Of Print... This book, the first in a new series dealing with management for the board, is a non-academic appraisal for all board members of the management development activities required for continued organisational health. The author aims to provide some insight into the processes of management development and the ways in which these affect the working of the total organisation rather than to provide a set of ready-made forms or systems. Starting right from scratch with a management effectiveness audit and a management inventory, the author goes on to discuss how to plan for future management manpower resources. He advocates a distinct policy of management development. This will necessarily involve appraisals of performance and potential; selection and appointment of new managers; training; promotion; organisation development; pay and rewards. Each major activity is explained and accompanying digests can be used as a basis for discussion at board level. This clear and concise book will be invaluable to the whole board.
