Gower Handbook of Training and Development Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It is now crystal clear that, in today's ever-changing world, an organization's very survival depends upon how it supports its people to learn and keep on learning. Of course this new imperative has considerable implications for trainers who are now playing an increasingly critical role in supporting individuals, teams and business management. In this respect today's trainers may need to be more than excellent presenters; they are also likely to require a range of consultancy and coaching skills, to understand the place of technology in supporting learning and be able to align personal development values with business objectives.
This brand new edition of the Gower Handbook of Training and Development will be an invaluable aid for today's training professionals as they face up to the organizational challenges presented to them. All 38 chapters in this edition are new and many of the contributors, whilst being best selling authors or established industry figures, are appearing for the first time in this form. Edited by Anthony Landale, this Handbook builds on the foundations that previous editions have laid down whilst, at the same time, highlighting many of the very latest advances in the industry.
The Handbook is divided into five sections-learning organizations, best practice, advanced techniques in training and development, the use of IT in learning, and evaluation issues.
Anthony Landale is currently Editor-in-Chief of Management Skills & Development magazine, having been the editor from 1992-1998. He is a regular contributor to The Guardian's management page, and is a freelance trainer specializing in areas including facilitation, coaching and personal development. Additionally, he is a qualified counsellor with his own private practice.
