A Manager's Guide to Self-development

“The Senior Leadership Apprenticeship programme at Henley Business School introduced me to this book, A Manager's Guide to Self-development. The book made me realise that I had never correctly answered the "what are your weaknesses" questions before! The knowledge and wisdom provided and the ‘cookbook format’ to discover self and team development needs make this book invaluable. I bought it electronically and as a paperback. I also gave it to a couple of manager friends as a Christmas present.” Najib Coutya, Senior Cloud Transformation Architect, Financial Services at Wipro Digital.

“Engaging, innovative and exciting to use in anyone’s self-development. The exercises are fun and illuminating, and the pace is fast and energizing. A must read for any manager wanting to be ‘the best’”. Professor Sir Cary Cooper, CBE, ALLIANCE Manchester Business School, University of Manchester

“For several decades the MGSD has been the 'go to' book for individuals committed to their self-development, and to learning and development professionals who guide them along the way. This new edition has been adapted to reflect the contemporary work context, but retains the underpinning learning philosophy and core principles developed by the book's original authors. It encourages managers and leaders to situate their development in the context of collective efforts to bring about better outcomes, and to develop transferable skills that can be applied to understand more deeply a range of organisation sectors. I recommend this book to anyone interested in developing themselves for work, or to prepare themselves for any new challenge.” Carole Elliott, Professor of Leadership Development, University of St Andrews Business School.
