Developing future managers: education and practice.
Selecting, educating, and training managers for the future is not optional. If you leave this to chance, then you leave the organization's future to chance. The concept of identifying personal core competencies of future managers parallels the General's challenge of the "fog of war." You cannot tell people in advance all the things they will encounter as they march the organization forward. You can only prepare them so that they can handle the unexpected and unforeseen challenges that will occur. Building into the leader the necessary personal core competency is the best preparation for surprises. The personal core competencies for our organization's work of the future are shown below: Manager's Core Competencies: Teaming, Leadership, Process Management, Systems, Business Savvy, Product Knowledge, Job Knowledge. Each core competency includes a description that paints a clear picture of our expectations of our future managers. Your competencies may have similar labels or titles, but the descriptions will be unique to the vision of the future challenges for your organization.
