As customers become more sophisticated in their demands for their products or services, so there is a greater pressure for people in organisations to work more effectively to stay ahead of the competition.

The key to this success is a strong management function which is continually focused on helping team members achieve their goals.

“We see you as part of our management team”

Management Development

The Mdina management programmes are designed around the appropriate 11 principles of management, helping managers achieve their results by “doing” less and managing more (see the Activity Trap).

11 principles of management:

Planning
Structure and organisation
Recruitment and performance
Training and development
Motivation
Evaluation and control
Delegation
Decision making
Discipline
Communication
Time management

DAMACA is a fundamental belief that underpins all development programmes delivered by Mdina and helps to bring clarity to any situation.

Direction	What are we trying to achieve?
Accountability	What is our role in that direction?
Measurement	How are we measured in that role?
Authority	What is our level of authority?
Communication	How do we communicate?
Attitude	What is our approach?

The cornerstone of the management development programmes is the on-going review and development of the team members that include the key learning points from the programmes.

The learning points can be designed into the Mdina Development Action and Results Toolbox (DART) which ensures that the organisation gains long term benefits, protecting the development investment.
