\"\"<\/a>It’s not easy being a manager.\u00a0 Where, in times of trouble, does the business buck get stopped?\u00a0 With the manager.\u00a0 Who, when things go well, ends up with the burden of expectation that, from now on, above-average performance becomes the norm?\u00a0 The manager.\u00a0 And who gets nailed from all sides, when those new averages can’t be maintained?\u00a0 Got it in one.<\/p>\n

The manager is responsible for the performance, or non-performance of all staff \u2013 despite the fact that, as often as not, the manager has had promotion thrust upon them, pulled, like Macbeth, into a web of forces beyond their control.\u00a0 This, then, is where management development<\/strong> comes in.\u00a0 Management development<\/strong> allows companies to train their (often reluctant) managers \u2013 giving them the tools to make their lives a lot easier and company productivity a lot better.<\/p>\n

Management development<\/strong>, like most work-related training programs, can be undertaken with minimal disruption to the daily running of an office or store.\u00a0 Good management development courses are tailored to the needs of the company in question \u2013 so one management development model might be on-site training for store managers, while another might involve single-day seminars for mid-level office management.\u00a0 In all cases, management development training focuses on a Sun Tzu-esque single-minded issue \u2013 teaching normal people to lead.<\/p>\n

Leadership is the holy grail of good management and the cornerstone of all management development training.\u00a0 If a person can be taught the art, or secrets, of good leadership, he or she will be well fitted to manage any team, in any situation.\u00a0 So we find that all stripes, variations and lengths of management development course revel in titles like “fundamentals of leadership”, “right track to leadership” \u2013 and so on.\u00a0 The problems outlined in the first paragraph of this article \u2013 uneven performance, employee behavior \u2013 are all controllable, and resolvable, by recourse to strong leadership.\u00a0 Management development<\/strong> makes this happen \u2013 which makes management development<\/strong> as indispensable for every business as having managers in the first place.<\/p>\n

Think about it this way.\u00a0 At some point, every manager was a non-manager, just like every king or queen was once a little boy or girl.\u00a0 Kings and queens have the luxury of being slowly trained into their position \u2013 taught bearing; manners; morals; and conduct.\u00a0 Managers have their greatness thrust upon them, often with no preliminary warning or coaching \u2013 and businesses, by definition, are too busy to help them.\u00a0 Management development<\/strong> courses, run by companies who know what they are doing, give new management all that preliminary coaching in a scientifically-developed, easy to swallow form.\u00a0 Transforming them, in days or a few weeks, into the leaders every business needs to pull its trade forward.<\/p>\n
