13.3.2 Approaches of Management Development

There are mainly two types of approaches by which managers can acquire the knowledge, skills
and attitudes and make themselves competent managers. One is through formal training and
the other is through on-the-job experiences.

On-the-job Techniques

On-the-job training is of utmost importance as the real learning takes place only when the
learner uses what he has learned. The saying “An ounce of practice is more worthy than tons of
theory” is true whoever said it. But it should also be remembered that classroom training or
pedagogical techniques have also got their own importance in gaining new knowledge, and
learning new techniques, and broader concepts.

Did u know? Learning is haphazard without theoretical background and learning can never
be called true learning if it is just theory without practice.
When on the job training is properly balanced with the classroom training, the real learning
takes place.

The following are some of the important on-the-job and off-the-job techniques of management
development (See Figure 13.3).
