In
most organizations, the position of sales manager is filled by rewarding a
strong sales producer with a promotion to a sales management position. In
effect, we take a super-producer and instantly make them a supervisor
without understanding the difference in skill sets of the two positions. How
often do we see this fail? What can be done to assure the success?
Management
over the last quarter century has taken on many new and complex dimensions, and
this trend is likely to continue. Advancing technology has created new and
exciting possibilities in every organization. Progress creates challenge, and
the challenge facing management today is: developing an organization that can
meet tomorrow's goals while continuing to meet the daily challenges of today. To
balance these organizational demands, managers need a systematic approach to
their jobs. They need Management Development.
Management Development involves the what
and how of training and understanding the why of a situation. The
result is managers who are working because they want to and because they
understand why and how they are essential to the organization's goals. These
managers know that the goals can be achieved, obstacles can be overcome and
problems can be solved.
This program makes Management Development not
only possible, but eminently profitable. Individually, each manager reflects the
behavior and attitude of a goal-directed manager. Collectively they form a
powerful force that literally assures the achievement of corporate goals.
