Summary:

The subject of lifelong executive development and education has drawn little formal thought or even recognition outside of specialized professional and academic circles, even though large elements of the population engage in it and even though the national economy is affected by how well or indifferently it may be done. Executive Development: Preparing for the 21st Century opens up this subject to reflection by those individuals and organizations who should expect to deliver or receive its full potential of benefits. The book focuses on executive education - what the authors refer to as the ongoing development of people already in managerial positions for greater responsibility. Executive Development: Preparing for the 21st Century examines the key issues in the process of continuing executive education in an increasingly complex world. Harper Moulton and Arthur Fickel summarize recent major changes in the business world that have had a significant impact on management competency. They survey developments in meeting the needs of a changing environment and provide an analysis of how anticipated needs of future executives can be met. In scrutinizing the principal players - individual managers, executives, and leaders in all functions and levels of organizations, as well as business students and researchers - the authors hope this book will help them to think about the challenges of maintaining personal growth and excellence of performance throughout their careers.
