Developing the weakest link in the Sainsbury’s chain

Abstract

When UK retail giant Sainsbury’s recently announced that it would be reviewing the performance of at least 100 of its store managers, the debate on the effectiveness of management development programs surfaced once again. Critics questioned how these managers had risen to their current positions in the first place and, with so many executives under the spotlight, whether this reflected more on Sainsbury’s development programs than the individuals involved.
