  Personnel professionalism requires directors and managers to keep fully abreast of current business strategy; this series provides the tools for them to make a full contribution to organisational success. This book shows organizations how to combine formal and informal approaches to management development, how to compare internal and external courses, how to look far more closely at the different needs and learning styles of individuals and how to help them learn from experience. The author argues that usual methods of developing potential, promotion planning, training women and getting the best from all managers can be improved dramatically - provided people are willing to go back to first principles and continuously improve techniques.
