Description: Managers & executives do not typically become more effective as the result of a single training program or other intervention. Rather, development requires a range of ongoing & integrated activities. The six-step model described in this report -- based on CCL's "Tools for Developing Successful Executives" program -- provides the basics for designing an organizational-development initiative. The steps, each covered in their own sections, range from "Find & Use Organizational Support for Creating a Process" to "Define & Communicate the Role of the Manager in Development." The sections contain commonsense information about the issues to consider plus examples of the real-life experiences of human resources professionals & others. For quick access, an Executive Guide sums up the essentials of each step & most sections provide information about further reading. Both the person just beginning to think about designing a development program & the experienced HR practitioner can benefit from the guidelines offered here.
