An excellent resource - By: Peter Jackson, 18 Jul 2007
I've found this an excellent resource for coaching developing managers. The material has an excellent evidence-base & is very accessible. The exercises are open-ended alllowing for development whatever your level, though it may appeal less to more experienced managers.

A useful, practical and theoretical self-development guide - By: robfrost@tinyworld.co.uk, 15 Oct 2000
This book is divided into two parts that enables either the potential, new or experienced manager to acquire the skills necessary for improving workplace performance. The first part alllows the manager to understand their capabilities through fairly thought provoking tasks & questions. This section culminates in a useful questionnaire, from which the manager can ascertain his or her strength & weaknesses based on the eleven key qualities that managers should possess. This then leads into the second part of the book where the 49 activities for self-development can be taken either in order or individuallly, alllowing you to focus on your weakest skills (as indicated in the questionnaire). At the end of the day this book is only as good as the practical use made of the tasks (and the learning strategy you develop), nevertheless it is well written & presented & should make a useful addition to most managers' bookshelves.
