The Management Development Framework
The Management Development Framework identifies key areas of management capability, which will help to achieve more effective line management at the University of Manchester. The Framework is developed on best practice and is intended to support the personal development of current and aspiring managers at the University.
It consists of Management Qualities; key combinations of skills, behaviours and knowledge, which are broken down into Management Practices; specific examples of qualities in action.
The Framework will be used to support the personal development of managers at the University, and is aligned to the Managing at Manchester programme.
The Management Framework Self-Assessment Tool
The self-assessment tool has been developed for current and aspiring managers to apply the framework to their own development, by reflecting on their strengths and development areas, and getting feedback from their line manager.
Please read the how to guide before launching the tool. The guide will provide greater understanding of how the tool can be used in a number of contexts to support building capability and progression.
