Training and Development

Management Courses and Opportunities
- Managers, regardless of their level in an organisation, should, in addition to their professional qualifications. study psychology, sociology,organisational development.change management concepts,economics,management principles,financial and cost management. A manager should have a good understanding of management as a practice, he should be given the opportunity to peer into the objectives of his organisation for him to have an appreciation of the problems which that organisation encounters in the process of achieving its objectives. A manager should understand his subordinates in terms of their needs and aspirations. Unless he has a clear understanding of his staff and how to supervise them and how to motivate them to effectively contribute to the organisation, he may encounter a lot of obstacles in his work.

Self Management
- Managers should learn how to manage themselves rather than time, assets and their teams. It is how they invest the most important assets that they have (themselves)in all long term and short term activities.

Educating Approaches
- And, learn and demonstrate competence in workplace educating approaches ... like facilitating, instructing, etc. >>> I know of 10. The educating approches are linked to the learning styles of the employees and/or the approach necessary to help employees learn theory (knowledge --> ready), task (skill --> able) and/or mind-set (attitude --> willing).

Organizational skills & Guidance
- In all levels of Management, if a Supervisor or Manager does not have a solid organizational structure for both the work load and soft skills/people management, it will be difficult to successfully execute and get desired results. Also, whether a Supervisor or Manager is newly trained or has years of experience, he/she needs to be guided and empowered by their superiors, not necessarily by being told exactly how to do something and when to do it, but by providing feedback and helping to develop strategies that lead to more efficient management.

Training Specialist
- You cover quite a lot. Apart from the courses, managers need to gain experience working with and among people. They must have a good balance of the 3 management skills: i.e. Conceptual, Human and Technical, depending upon their level in their company's organogram among other factors.

Responsibility...
- In my experience I've seen Managers get wrapped up in their own day-to-day activities such as reports, meetings and so on, while, in the meantime, the staff is bickering, morale is down and training goes by the wayside. I've also seen Manangers dump their responsibilities on others which causes more damage to morale as well as pitting employees against each other....there must be some type of training in how to keep up with the work as well as office dynamics...
