FREE online courses on Building a Winning Team - 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!!
