From the author: New organizational structures and cultures are placing a premium on new management behaviors and skills. Management behavior that has worked in the past is viewed as out of sync with the workplace and, in many cases, leads to the demise of the heretofore successful executive. Corporations invest in a variety of programs to help executives remain in step with the changes around them. Disappointed with past results, companies are demanding accountability and asking: What are we getting for our money? What difference does the program make to the company and in the work-life of the executive? "Training" is differentiated from "development" and the special requirements of development are articulated. A model which develops executives and helps them modify management behavior is described. Finally, the results of a study of over 56 executives and managers who participated in a process utilizing this model between 1987 and 1992 are presented.
