Introduction
Manageri al Effecti veness i s fast becomi ng a competi ti ve advantage for
organisations, especially in the context of high demand for and, therefore, continuous
migration of competent managers from one organisation to another. Organisations,
therefore, have started investing in retaining competent managers and putting in
place systems for developing new cadre of effective managers. It is in wake of
these contextual factors that this programme on Managerial Effectiveness is being
conducted.
Managerial Effectiveness is often defined in terms of output - what a manager
achieves. This result oriented definition leads us to look for the factors that contribute
towards the results. Studies find three factors to be responsible for the results
that an organisation achieves through its managers. These are: (a) the efforts and
ability of the managers, (b) the environment in which the managers and the
organisation operates, and (c) the efforts and ability of the subordinates. Thus, the
managers ability is the key element in achieving the desired results.
This programme on Managerial Effectiveness focuses by and large on the
managerial ability of Managing Self, Managing Subordinates & Relationships (which
can enhance subordinates ability), Managing Change and Decision Making (which
requires the managers to understand the environment in which she/he and her/his
organisation operates).
