Should senior managers deliver their own management training?

It is any managers responsibility to develop their managers and staff to effectively perform their job roles both now and to prepare them for the future. This includes giving them day to day guidance, advice and coaching help to encourage them to achieve their full potential.
They should also ensure that they have the technical knowledge and skills to do their jobs well and if they are also managers that they discharge their people management and development responsibilities effectively and fairly to their people.
However this does mean that they have to do all of this themselves and indeed they may not have the knowledge, skills, techniques and objectivity to do this themselves. Therefore they should turn to management training experts to provide this input for the following reasons:-
they have the knowledge, skills and techniques. They are outside the line management role and can therefore be more objective and better able to support and challenge managers thinking.
They are able to bring together a number of managers to attend management development events in a group which aids shared learning.
So in conclusion both line managers and specialist management training specialists both have a partnership role to play in developing and training managers.
