Organizations, business and industry demand dynamic, skilful, knowledgeable and competent mangers. Indeed the quality and performance of managers determine not only the success but also the very survival of any organization. Managers must not only manage themselves, they must also see the organization/business as whole and build integrated teams. This means they have to acquire competency in team building, decision making, negotiation, communication, and performance management to name a few core competencies. Therefore, to be able to meet the demands of skills, knowledge, performance, responsibility and integrity, managers must systematically train themselves in the core competencies.
