How to Design an Effective System for Developing Managers and Executives

Rather, development requires a range of ongoing and integrated activities. Drawn from CCL's "e;Tools for Developing Successful Executives"e; program, the six-step model described in this report provides the basics for designing a system that works. The steps, each covered in its own section, range from "e;Find and use organizational support for creating a process"e; to "e;Define and communicate the critical role of the manager."e; The sections contain commonsense information about the issues to consider when designing a development system plus numerous practical examples.
