The Concept of Five‐dimensional Management

Outlines an innovative blend of theory and application developed by the Salisbury Consulting Group in an attempt to address the rigidity characteristic of traditional management training. The approach is based on a simple definition of a manager (as anyone who takes responsibility for his or her own actions and interactions) combined with the straightforward principle that managers should manage others as they eed to be managed. Five‐dimensional management focuses on the importance to effective management of understanding different personality types and of dealing with each accordingly, though within the same framework of management responsibilities and the skills required to carry them out.
