Managerial Inputs in Development - Keep Up To Date
We live in a society where the
pace of change is accelerating, fuelled by technological breakthroughs,
innovations and a continuing revolution in communications. More than any other
generation in human history, we are acutely aware that
to keep-up means life itself, in this Darwinian process of survival of
the fittest.
Keeping up to date
with professional and technological change is an essential part of staff
development, all the more so because organizations
are as much prone to the dangers of obsolescence as individuals. It is
easy to get bogged down by routine work. This is not surprising, in view of the
immediate nature of routine, and the time available. But you may find that an
unfamiliar landscape greets the eye when you finally look around.
Part of your role as leader is to make sure that your staff
gets every reasonable opportunity to develop (and don't forget the need to
create a learning environment). Subscribe to the best management books/
journals, even for offbeat subjects; you never know when they will spark off
some great idea. Get in touch with Professional Development Institutes for a
Course List…and use it if you have to!!
