Management got a bad press last year. Management failures have been held responsible for everything from the UK’s relatively poor productivity, falling levels of employee satisfaction, lack of national sporting success, sluggish progress in public services, to a culture of inadequate corporate responsibility.

Management development is also changing in style, delivery and accreditation, often leaving training managers uncertain about what style of development programmes are appropriate for their needs.
