Effective Self-Development A Skills and Activity-Based Approach - Effective Management

Effective Self Development puts this increasingly critical aspect of management development into a context that links it to both effectiveness and the organisation. 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 will play a vital role in this and this book demonstrates the ways in which individuals 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, 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, attitudes and behavior. The unique skills and activity–based approach of this book provides a clear understanding of the ways that this can be achieved for students, trainers and managers studying business at NVQ levels 4 and 5.
