Management Development Training for Men and Women – is There Any Difference?
Posted by · Comments
So is this difference in style just a perception or is it based on any evidence?
We are aware of the animal studies than show the differences in behavior between males and females that have characterized females as being more nurturing and of males classically exhibiting aggressive, dominant “A” type behavior - but how far do these results transfer across to management roles in organizations?
We also know that there are differences in some physical performance aspects of men and women which have to be taken account â especially in occupations where physical strength and stamina is important e g The Army, The Fire Brigade
When we look at some of the more sophisticated Psychometric tests measuring personality characteristics such as 16pf, we do know that there are some gender differences which are significant enough for us to use different norm tables for men or women in order to normalize any comparative results.
So if we accept that there are some gender based differences in managerial style and approach should we then provide different forms of management development training for man and women? Read More→

Overt and Covert Influencing
Posted by · Comments
These days everyone has to be able to influence in some aspect of their lives, be it the workplace or on the personal front. Good influencing is a great skill to have and some people are just naturally adept at it. Whether using a charm initiative, empathy, business acumen, humour, persuasiveness, even persistence, there are all kinds of ways to influence.
There’s one aspect of influencing that might help you prepare your influencing strategy more effectively, and that’s to look at the whole arena in terms of overt or covert influencing.
Here’s how we define the difference.
In overt influencing both you and ‘influencee’ know what’s happening; both of you are conscious of what’s going on. It’s like flirting: you know your doing it and the recipient knows as well.
In the case of influencing it’s as though everyone’s cards are on the table: everyone knows what hand the other ‘holds’.
There tends to be a free exchange of useful information that will be mutually beneficial and all parties prefer things to be transparent. Along with that, agendas and goals are also clear and agreed and the influencing ‘play’ if you will is about how to ‘get there’. Read More→

Management Development Makes Managers Better
Posted by · Comments
In today’s fast-paced work environment, many managers are thrust into leadership roles without formal training. Their success, or lack of it, has a tremendous impact on profitability. A recent Gallup survey of more than 1 million employees found that the most prevalent cause for people leaving their jobs is their immediate supervisor and that poorly managed workgroups are an average 50 per cent less productive and 44 per cent less profitable than well-managed groups.
Management development can be used to improve poor management practices and leadership development at any point in the employee lifecycle. By keeping a record of your employees’ talents, skills and preferences, you will be able to help your managers become better managers. Management development will also help you effectively manage, motivate and retain your talent.
With objective, quantifiable data about individual employees, you can make the best possible employee development and training decisions. By identifying employees who need improvement, the areas in which they need further development and the progress they have made toward improving the necessary skills, you can set your organization up for future success. Management development works in three parts: Read More→
