Checklist of Necessary Conditions for Success

Abstract

This checklist describes conditions which will never all exist before management training ‘for real’ begins, and you must start, of course, with whatever circumstances. exist. All of the conditions listed, however, must be achieved within a year, if not less, and failure to meet any one will result in failure of the total exercise. Each of the following six points is that vital and by putting them in a concluding chapter, I hope to emphasise the importance of getting the situation right: this is much more important than the giving of individual pieces of training to individual managers. It is a counsel of perfection to suggest that you do no training until the situation is right, but the situation — as represented by these six points — should be your main concern during the first critical year. Get the situation right and managers will develop themselves: that is the message of the book.
