Leadership and Management Excellence; Corporate Development Strategies

By Kim James (2000)

This literature review focuses on examples of how internationally recognised organisations go about the creation of leadership and management talent with which they can further the organisation’s purpose. It is a background document to the Leadership Development: Best Practice Guide for Organisations published by the Council for Excellence in management and Leadership. It is primarily concerned with practices in the recruitment, utilisation and development of those executives who may be regarded as key players in deciding the direction of the organisation and in ensuring that its resources are effectively deployed.
