Overview

People are an important resource to any organisation – in many ways, the most important resource. In today’s economy, not only are people expensive assets, human capital has become as important, if not more so, than financial assets and physical capital. Hence, just as financial assets and physical capital have to be effectively managed, attention needs to be paid to the manage- ment and development of human capital. In particular, high potential employees and key personnel should be developed systematically and professionally, and not in a haphazard manner, in order to enhance an organisation’s capability.

People Leadership: Styles and Skills is a programme designed to improve an organisa- tion’s overall productivity through the development of human resources. It aims at improving an organisation’s long- term competitive edge and short-term profitability through helping people achieve their maximum potential. In particular, this programme focuses on manag- ers, team leaders, executives and front-line supervisors who have to work with and develop people- a group of employees critical to the development of human resources in any organisation.
