- 2. Management Development Program A management development program is a program initiated by a company's leadership to train and retrain managers within the company's structure. This program can train employees in how to effectively manage other employees, gain product knowledge, learn negotiating, business etiquette, and filling out company-issued documents. Management development programs differ among companies. For example, a car rental agency may hire a person into the management development program and require the employee to complete the program over the course of a year. This employee may be required to work different jobs in the organization so that he can understand each job and manage employees doing different jobs. This person may also be required to learn about the company's business partners and suppliers.

- 4. REASONS FOR DEVELOPING M.D.PFor ensuring the success of the organization.To deal with people of different background, culture, language, etc.Mergers and acquisitions, downsizing, etc are all under management’s control.To ensure that the employees obtain the required KSAs to perform the tasks.To ensure that right people is hired for the right job, at the right time for the right place.Manager’s job is complex i.e. for the managers understanding the training need is not easy because his training need is determined by how well his department is meeting its objective and goal.To make decisions on the basis of judgment and intuition.It is the programmer who performs several routine duties as well as handling the exceptions in their own as well as subordinates’ routine.It is the management that understand the organization, its vision, mission, ethics, values, strategies, capabilities, and how his organization fits into the industry, and how his behavior will influence people outside the organization.
- 5. Process Of Developing M.D.P“The task of a leader is to get people from where they are to where they have not been.” ‐‐ Henry Kissinger Planning is the most overlooked component of the developing M.D.P s for the new or experienced manager. Most managers spend more time preparing for a departmental meeting than career development planning for their direct reports. This article introduces three fundamental steps in leader development planning.
- 7. Identify Desired Leader CompetenciesThe manager starts the leader development process by asking the question, “What are the organizational expectations for our leaders?” Typically, this question is answered in one of two ways: (1)a researched‐based set of generally accepted core competencies, and (2) modeling of the traits andbehaviors of successful leaders within the organizationGenerally Accepted Core CompetenciesOrganizations often use generic competencies that they assume to be valid. These competenciesoriginate from a variety of sources, such as academic research, consultants, authors, companybrainstorming sessions, and celebrity business leaders. Examples include lists of presumed leadershipqualities and traits, communication skills, ability to influence others, and more.
- 8. Leader ModelingThe second most common approach used by companies today is modeling one or more successfulleaders in the organization’s history and culture. Although it seems logical that an organization wouldwant to replicate successful current and past leaders, the reality is that there may be factors thatfavorably influenced the success of the highly regarded internal heroes that may not exist for others.Leader modeling is also vulnerable to management’s subjective view of good leadership and its skills inidentifying appropriate leadership traits, skills, and behaviors.
- 9. Creating a Competency TemplateOnce management adopts a leadership model the next step is to create a template for breaking downthe skills and behaviors that describe the identified competencies. The following example arranges theinformation into a simple format that identifies desired skills and behaviors linked to each competencyarea.Step One: Identify the general competency area.Step Two: For each area, list a minimum of three specific leader competencies.Step Three: For each competency specified in Step Two, name at least three supportingskills or behaviors the person must be able to demonstrate as an indication ofcompetency.
- 10. Determine Skill & Performance GapsOnce you have a competency template, the process of determining skill and performance gaps startswith observation and then uses a cause analysis approach to identify the person’s leader developmentopportunities.Evaluate Expected vs. Actual PerformanceContinuing the previous example, the manager devises a method to measure performance against thecompetency standards. There are both quantitative and qualitative ways to do this, depending upon thepurpose of the leadership development assistance to be provided. A simple non‐quantitative tool, likethe one shown below, can be very helpful in the planning process. (It is important to note that not everyleadership development coaching conversation is part of a formal performance management process.)
- 12. Example: Cause AnalysisOnce the development opportunities have been identified, specific coaching and training objectivesneed to be established in order to deliver the best leadership development action plan. These aredetermined as a result of a thoughtful cause analysis.In the example above, suppose the manager determines that the supervisor needs improvement in thecompetency of encouraging risk taking. Specifically, the supervisor needs to do a better job ofencouraging proactivity. The manager does a cause analysis in order to identify possible root causesthat will in turn lead to an effective intervention
- 15. DEVELOP A PLAN CUSTOMIZED TO THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF THE ASSOCIATE The third step in the process is to create an individualized leadership development plan. The Plan should include, at a minimum: A brief description of the person’s developmental needs,Identification of the symptoms that support the needs diagnosis, Specific developmental outcomes and goals, both long and short term. A problem solving approach to identifying the likely causes and how to overcome obstacles, Intervention details, including resources and support measures. l the resource intervention and support (coaching, training, conflict resolution, process improvement, etc.).
- 16. BENIFITs oFDeveloping Management Development ProgrammersThere are many benefits of management development programmers for the employer and employee. The employee can gain a higher salary, better job security or a promotion at the end of the training. The employer can gain a staff that is well trained and loyal to the company. Many companies have management development programmers who encourage minority employees to seek and fill management positions. In every organization there is need of a management program which cannot be prepared without a management programmer. So in today’s time there is a great need of management development programmers for the success of the organization.
