Most managers will cite the help and support of colleagues along the way, rather than formal management training, as particularly valuable in their own development. And in today's team-working environment, surely the ultimate objective must be to bring out the management potential in the people who work with an for you? Coaching, mentoring, facilitating, and action learning, are all about doing precisely this. And areas in which Alan Mumford is a leading authority. This text is designed as a workbook for all managers of people, not just for the management development specialist. It focuses on real-life scenarios, showing how they can be used to encourage your colleagues to develop their own skills. Brief exercises throughout help you to critique your own style, and provide a useful basis for real exercises you could use with your team. Above all, Alan Mumford stresses the value of learning through experience - showing how this can be structured and positive rather than "learning from mistakes". If you agree with the central principle - that the development of others to be no less than a responsibility - then you are truly on the way to working for learning organization. Which is very good news for your own future too.
