Professional Programs

People need nurturing and development to become effective and productive leaders in their organizations.

The Management Development Program is a powerful tool for developing leaders in your organization. Let's take a look at why and how to start your own program.

What is management development?

Management development is a process in which companies develop leaders and managers. This process is usually systematic and rigorous.

Management is usually developed with existing employees.

Programs that develop managers help fill skills gaps at the organizational level. But it also helps bridge that gap on a personal level for new and upcoming managers.

When employees distinguish themselves in a company, they become candidates for management positions. But just promoting these candidates without further training can lead to many problems.

For example, it creates a lack of consistency in managers and management styles across the organization.

Management development helps hone the skills of these candidates. It also establishes consistency in how management is conducted.

How is the Management Development Program different from the Executive Training Program

Executive training programs are designed for employees at the highest levels of the organization.

Management development programs help prepare junior managers and people in middle management.

Why is the management development program important?

Management development programs are important for several reasons.

According to LinkedIn's 2021 Workplace Learning Report, leadership and management are a priority for learning and development (L&D) professionals.

53% of L&D professionals said they were their top priority, which isn't far off from upskilling and refinishing at 59%.

According to this same report, 51% of L&D professionals say indoor mobility is a greater priority since the onset of COVID-19 than before.
