In addition, Training Masters customizes management development programs for postsecondary schools around two main components. They are (1) how well each manager functions in his/her respective area considering both job knowledge and people skills, and (2) how well the management team functions as a group. Each of these components can be examined alone; however, a focus on building the management strength in one component could be minimized by weakness in the other. When individual managers are performing well in each respective area but fragmentation in the management team's communication exists, disappointing achievement levels along with other weak impacts can undermine overall school performance.
