文档介绍：Leadership and Management Excellence;
Corporate Development Strategies
By Kim James, Cranfield School of Management
The Council for Excellence in Management and Leadership (CEML), chaired by Sir Anthony
Cleaver, was established in April 2000 by the Secretaries of State for Education and Employment and
for Trade and Industry. Its aim is to develop a strategy which will ensure that the UK has the
managers and leaders of the future to match the best in the world.
The Council has set up a number of working groups, one of which has focused on developing a best
practice guide for leadership development in the public and private sectors. This paper is the literature
review which was undertaken to support the work by Dr Kim James, seconded on a part time basis to
the council from June 2000.
Prepared for the
Leadership Development: Best Practice Guide anisations Project
for the Council for Excellence in Management and Leadership
The greatest paradox of all is between leading and managing, pushing for great change and yet keeping the
organisation ticking over….both are required in today’s world.

concerned with practices in the recruitment, utilisation and development of those
executives who may be regarded as key players in deciding the direction of the
organisation and in ensuring that its resources are effectively deployed.
