Aimed primarily at practitioners, this volume offers recent thinking on human resource development. The contributors initially focus on professionals' interaction with the learning process. Following is a discussion on an often overlooked dimension of human resources--professionals as individuals in a particular role and associated with colleagues. Each role calls for a particular set of competences that are reviewed as trainers, consultants, administrators and policy makers practice their craft; as colleagues; in action settings of various kinds; constructing a training or broader development system; and, monitoring progress and process. "Carefully edited and crisp... The quality and content of the readings, in most cases, are of a much higher standard than the usual training material available locally and should, therefore, serve as a useful tool to the trainers/consultants.... The book should be a useful addition to any management library." --Indian Journal of Industrial Relations "[This book] deserves serious attention of all those involved in the enterprise of training . . . The editors have spread their net wide and assembled a miscellany of ideas that induces thinking and motivates for undertaking goal-oriented action in the realms of human resource development and organization change . . . What the volume contains is interesting as well as useful . . . It is a highly useful anthology." -Indian Journal of Public Administration "This book is in a class by itself. From concepts to methodology to attitudes, it covers a gamut of issues, some of them so subtle that it is the reading that brings many a hidden implication to light. . . . The book helps articulate very important considerations in handling the learning process of the most developed of living creatures, the human being." --The HinduLynton, Rolf P. is the author of 'Facilitating Development Readings for Trainers, Consultants, and Policy-Makers' with ISBN 9780803994171 and ISBN 0803994176.
