Description
ABSTRACT Most middle sized and large corporations in Australia invest considerable sums of money in the provision of leadership identification and development programmes for their management staff. The question is: do these kinds of programmes really play an important role in determining who rises to the top in terms of corporate management? This study, which draws on interviews with 62 managers employed by a major financial institution in Australia, sought to obtain an understanding of how, within one quite large corporation, managers are identified and promoted. The accounts of the interviewees provide a rich basis for reflecting critically on the formulaic human resource management approaches to leadership development adopted across a great many corporations.
