INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
The survival of every organization depends on the acquired and developed knowledge, skills and experience of their employee. The employees are expected to develop along with the contemporary and anticipated changes in the organization and in response to rapidly growing competition in the corporate world.
Having realized the fact that Personnel selection alone cannot ensure productivity, it is mandatory for staff to develop with other development in the organization, and hence the need for training (caves 1995) and methods that can easily be applied to carry out jobs and achieve organizational goals. Going by the contribution of Drucker (1987) effective managers are those who get the right things done at the right time.
Effectiveness in this sense does not relate to the level of intelligent or the level of education but flows from systematic and continuous training and manpower development. While intelligence, imagination and knowledge are essential factors; effectiveness only converts them into results brought about to continuous and systematic training and development to ensure proficiency of a present job enhancement on a new job.
