Cuttings 87 is now online. A couple of articles this time relating to management development, based on recent surveys and journal articles. First, the line manager as a coach - an increasingly popular approach, but some questions linger on quality and quantity. Secondly, the middle manager is strongly criticised for being ineffective - but what are senior managers doing to help them develop? Surely an opportunity for putting coaching into practise.

Plus the usual collection of quotations in Snippets.

Enjoy - and join the discussion on the blog.
