The CIPD and ACAS have published their "five-a-day management fundaments with a view to help raise UK productivity, they have urged business leaders and government to take a stand against poor people management, which is too often the cause of bullying, conflict and stress in the workplace and a significant factor in the UK's productivity gap. The guidance covers how to be a better boss, and urges the government to help address the UK's people management skills deficit.
The 'five-a-day' management fundamentals are grouped under the following headings:
Under each heading, there are practical tips for managers to follow to become a better boss.
The principles are without doubt essential to improving management capability but they are not exactly ground breaking, as the majority of these principles have been around for a long time and many managers are already living by them.
The question for me always remains how do we measure the level of a managers competence at the start and end of any development initiative and the answer always comes back the same - by using the MAP Assessment tool. That without doubt is the way forward as it is the only objective assessment tool on the market that can assess a managers ability against 12 key competencies, all of which form part of the "five-a-day management fundamentals".
