bringing together managers of various businesses and organizations to interrogate global management practices as their pick ideas that can help them excel in their managerial responsibility and offer leadership to their teams for overall organizational productivity.

The theme for 2012 KIM Annual Manager’s Conference is Leadership Excellence for the 21st Century Manager: Thoughts and Practice. The Conference will be held on June 20th - 22nd, 2012.

UNPACKING AND INTERROGATING THE THEME?As the world changes, so does the workplace. Managers of the 21st Century operate in environments quite unlike those they first entered, and must regularly update their skills to meet the challenges of a dynamic global market and a more diverse workforce.

In the coming years, we are bound to see more challenges in the business and workplace landscapes that will shape the 21st century manager. The managers need to come to grips with changing world today were the environment has seen three different generations in the workplace at the same time, each with very different needs and aspirations. The Managers will therefore be expected to learn how to manage and lead a multi-generational workforce and acquire generation specific team leadership and management skills.

Secondly, the workplace environment is increasingly changing with more focus being placed on the performance and productivity of people as a core capital. Managing talent is critical to building a firm’s sustainable competitive advantage. Today’s managers will therefore need to master a range of new talent management tools to operate effectively in a highly dynamic environment.

And finally, a changing mindset where we have seen a great demand for a shift away from a dominant shareholder value perspective and towards a wider stakeholder view with more defined public scrutiny

on how the companies operate and the managers behave. Creative strategic thinking, systems and process excellence and coaching and mentoring.

For the managers to succeed in the years to come, executives will need to master a range of hard and soft skills. Amongst other things, they will require the confidence to manage multi-generational teams, the creativity to measure staff performance on outputs rather than inputs, and a high degree of creative strategic thinking, systems and process excellence and coaching and mentoring skills.
