Abstract
Describes an approach to management development which makes it easier
for trainers to demonstrate how they add value in their organizations.
The approach focuses on the real needs and issues of the people
attending and encourages them to take action in ways that have an
immediate pay‐off for them and their organizations. Describes a typical
intervention which has been carried out in a wide variety of
organizations during the past ten years. This comprises a two‐part
workshop with further work carried out before and after the workshops.
Some of the processes involved during the workshops are described in
detail, and common issues that have emerged for managers, such as
dealing with feelings, and getting and giving support, are explored.
Addresses the implications for trainers and the organization of using
this approach and concludes that it is only by focusing on the real
day‐to‐day problems of managers that trainers can demonstrate that they
add value.
