Conclusion

This course has provided you with a better understanding of some of the key processes and skills involved in management of work tasks and people. You have been asked to study a range of ideas and techniques which inform the training and development of managers and to apply some of them to the management of your own work. Once again you may have noted in reading this course that management is a matter for personal opinion and judgement. There are very few, if any, right or wrong answers in management. We have presented you with a number of established ideas, some of which have been thoroughly researched whilst others have simply proven effective in practice. It is part of your own development and learning to decide which of these ideas prove useful to you.
