Leadership Development—: Towards on Interpersonal Skills Training Programme

Abstract

Universities, business schools and other interested research bodies have produced a plethora of data and theories on the subject of leadership which managers have, from time to time, wrestled with. Such efforts are made in the belief that somewhere in the mass of information, is something that might be relatable to a manager's daily professional life, and which might help him to be more effective in his job. That is, more successful in his role as active developer and director of the resources—both human and physical—within his realm of influence. This could well be regarded as the modern executive's dilemma since management journals are showing increasing concern for the “leadership” issue. Not surprisingly enterprising individuals have taken advantage of this trend and produced an array of “leadership programmes”.
