About this listen

Since its first release in 1978, A Manager's Guide to Self-Development has been one of the go-to texts for new and aspiring managers. Now in its seventh edition, authors Mike Pedler and Joan Keevil join Gemma and Ross G to discuss:

  • why self-development is so key to a manager's capabilities
  • what has changed since the first edition of the book as published (hat tip to Michelle Ockers for this question)
  • some of our favorite exercises from the book, to help us develop as managers.

A Manager's Guide to Self-Development by Mike Pedler, John Burgoyne, Tom Boydell, Joan Keevill, Kevin Roe, Jean-Anne Stewart is available from Routledge.
