What Are Management Development Programmes?
Peter Drucker, the “father of modern management,” formulated the concept of the “management revolution” in the ’50s. He espoused the need to embrace a professional and scientific approach to management through management development. The idea behind the concept was a need for skilled and competent executives to enable business success.
A step in this area was the evolution of Management Development Programmes (MDPs). An important field in human resource management, Management MDPs are focused on developing knowledge, skills, and competencies of people in managerial roles in order to improve their effectiveness and organisational alignment.
MDPs help organisations to develop their managers and build a stronger and more effective workforce. This has significant benefits for organisations through improved performance, talent development, and career progression. These programme transform managers at the intermediate management level into effective leaders. It also encourages employees at the managerial level to enhance their abilities to motivate those around them, helping them manage the teams more efficiently.
