Description

Arguing that US business is not getting adequate results from the $10 billion dollars spent annually on training, Quick suggests ways in which managers and trainers can improve management development programmes. Drawing on 30 years experience as a management trainer, Quick presents a practical six-step approach to securing the links between the classrooom and the boardroom. Overall, he advocates a greater involvement on the part of practising managers in the process of business training.
