Accelerate executive development – at your peril!
Abstract
This paper examines accelerated development and fast track managers. Using the example of Sears, Roebuck & Co, the progression of accelerated development managers was analysed. It discovers that managers who progress quickly develop four problems that often lead to failure: no personal network; alienation of others; no resilience and no development of metacompetencies. Suggests that more attention should be paid to relational influences as well as formal training and development programmes to develop well rounded managers.
