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→

Basically, management development is a term that describes any number of activities that reflect a planned effort to enhance employees’ ability in various individual and team management techniques. Very simply put, management development includes development of skills such as planning, organizing, leading and developing resources.
A key skill for any employees is the ability to manage their own work and control their career path. Highly motivated and self-directed individuals can gain a massive amount of learning and other benefits for their organization by implementing an aggressive management development program.
Management development refers to the process of training and developing managerial talent within a company or organization.
But why do I need to waste time on training and development? Why not just hire the people I need when the time comes?

Drive Your Marketing With Events Video
Posted by: | Comments
This video was posted originally at my Business Training Resource site.
I realized with so many different websites, it’s tough to keep things organized. So I’ll be using my personal site to keep everything I that I post in other sites in one place.
Since more of my training and consulting work is moving in the direction of internet marketing, most of my posting will be focused on that subject (however, I should be able to squeeze some other fun stuff in as well).
This is the first in a series of posts about the Five Channels of New Media strategy.
Although events are not a channel, events drive all the other elements of new media:
- Business blogs
- Voice broadcasting
- E-mail marketing
- Video (including video e-mail)
- Web Conferencing (for webinars and selling)
You’re always welcome to comment.
