This text has been revised to take account of the increasing importance of competencies, 360-degree feedback and the learning organization. It examines how organizations asses potential, plan promotions, compare internal and external courses, combine formal and informal approaches, focus on the different needs of individuals, and find ways to help them all learn from experience. The book is an overview for practitioners, and should also prove useful for students of the IPD elective module in Management Development. Personnel professionalism requires directors and managers to keep fully abreast of current business strategy. The "Developing Strategies" series provides the tools for them to make a full contribution to organizational success. Alan Mumford is the author of "Effective Learning" in the IPD "Training Extras" series.

Personnel professionalism requires directors and managers to keep fully abreast of current business strategy; this series provides the tools for them to make a full contribution to organisational success. This book shows organizations how to combine formal and informal approaches to management development, how to compare internal and external courses, how to look far more closely at the different needs and learning styles of individuals and how to help them learn from experience. The author argues that usual methods of developing potential, promotion planning, training women and getting the best from all managers can be improved dramatically - provided people are willing to go back to first principles and continuously improve techniques.

<p>This collection of cartoons covers the highlights - and the lowlights - of the History of the Labour Party. Introductory chapters review the context in which political cartoons appear, in terms of the ownership of newspapers and their attitude to the Labour Party. The relationship between cartoonists and the newspapers in which they appeared, and specifically their own political views are reviewed. Each stage in the evolution of the Labour Party is given an introduction in the text, followed by the cartoons for each period. In addition two chapters highlight major figures not otherwise emphasised in the text. This fascinating collection, including work by Low, Dyson, Vicky, Steve Bell and Peter Brookes, enables readers not only to see the changing depictions of issues and personalities, but also brings out common features in the changing focus of the Labour Party.</p>
