Implementing personal development plans: a model for trainers, managers and supervisors

Abstract

Proposes that the emphasis for personal development is with the new and existing managers through the use of management development. Notes, however, that there is also a need to identify those who have management potential who are at a lower level. States that companies which ignore this fact are in danger of creating gaps in their management structure. Examines a major building society′s personal development plan which increases performance, developing career planning. Concludes that the benefits have far outweighed the expectations of the building society.
