Management is far too important to be left only to the managers

 Management training, as described in this site, has a special
 methodology. It is something that goes beyond traditional training,
 and it is something which directly contributes to an increase in
 capacity, strength, or empowerment of groups, organizations or
 communities.

 You will find some overlap between this module and the others. The
 community mobilization intervention, for example, is closely
 integrated with the management training intervention (applied to
 communities), so the boundaries between the two are not easy to
 define.

 Here are some of the documents in this module. The Four Key
 Questions, lists the four questions that lie at the core of
 management training. Together, they and the answers to each, form a
 logical argument, which lies at the root of project design and all
 planning related to management. Management Training, is a workshop
 handout for participants that again lists the four questions, and
 some other principles of management decision making. See also
 Management Training, from chapter Three of "Training for Strength,"
 which is the training curriculum of the community management programme.

 Management Training, Notes for the Trainer, is aimed at facilitators
 or trainers and explains how to use the material and present the
 principles of management training, Management Training Strategy
 Sketch, is an overview of the CMP strategy, and shows how management
 training is one of the three main thrusts of the methodology
 designed to empower low income communities. The Management Training
 Strategy Explicated, is an expansion of the sketch, but does into
 more detail for each of the elements in the strategy. Organizing by
 Training, describes how training, in this programme, goes beyond the
 usual assumption of being only the transfer of sills, and can be
 used for institutional restructuring (reorganizing) a group,
 organization or community to be more effective and have more
 capacity.

 This module is enhanced by combination with Participatory Management.
