Backs to the wall

Abstract

This audience, taken together, is responsible for the development of a vast resource for the education, training, and development of the British manager. Each year you spend approaching £l0m on teaching staff, and some 40,000 managers pass through your hands. What good has it done, this expenditure of resources and energy over the years; what good will it do as young managers who have absorbed whatever it is you give them take their place, in the next few years, in more senior posts? We have to live with those questions, and we have to be prepared to provide answers; not merely because we are spending a good deal of public money, but because the British manager is fighting for survival and is going to need all the help he can get.
