Becoming an Effective Manager

Management skill development is a crucial part of graduate school curricula. However, when practicing managers are asked to evaluate the organizational behavior and management courses they took in college, they generally complain that the courses did not teach them skills relevant to their jobs. Most report that "people problems" were their most significant challenge and they felt that their university education had not prepared them to handle this challenge.
