“All genuine learning is active, not passive. It is a process of discovery in which the
student is the main agent, not the teacher.” (Adler, 1982)
“Learning is not a spectator sport. Students do not learn much just by sitting in a
class listening to teachers, memorizing pre-packaged assignments, and spilling out
answers. They must talk about what they are learning, write about it, relate it to
past experiences, apply it to their daily lives. They must make what they learn part of
themselves.” (Chickering & Gamson, 1987)
In their classic book, Bonwell and Elson (1991) list seven defining characteristics of active
learning:
1. Students are involved in more than passive listening.
2. Students are engaged in activities (e.g., reading, discussing, writing).
3. There is less emphasis placed on information transmission and greater em-
phasis placed on developing student skills.
4. There is greater emphasis placed on the exploration of attitudes and values.
5. Student motivation is increased, especially in adult learners.
6. Students receive immediate feedback from their instructor and peers.
7. Students are involved in higher order thinking (analysis, synthesis, evaluation).
Our goals in writing this book were to bridge the academic realm of theory and research
and the organizational realm of effective practice and to help students consistently trans-
late proven principles from both realms into personal practice. To accomplish these goals,
we formulated a five-step “active” learning model, described in the Introduction. Based
on the positive feedback we’ve received from teachers and students as well as multiple
empirical research studies, we can state with confidence that the form of active learning
pioneered in this book is a proven pedagogy for management skill mastery.

Section Contents
Skill Assessment Instruments designed to identify your current level of skill competency, your styles, and/or key
dimensions of the skill. These instruments can be used to identify individual differences, issues
surrounding diversity, and areas for personal improvement plans.
Skill Learning Behavioral guidelines and key principles associated with the skill are explained. Scientific research
is used as the basis for prescribed skill performance. Clarifying how to successfully develop and
perform the skill is the purpose of this section.
Skill Analysis Cases and examples provide examples of successful and unsuccessful skill performance. Analytic
problem-solving is facilitated as recommendations are made for what the key issues are, how
performance might be modified, and why success was achieved.
Skill Practice Exercises and role-plays make it possible for individuals to actually practice the skill. Feedback from
peers and the instructor will facilitate improvement of the skill in a setting where failure is not costly.
Skill Application Suggested assignments are provided so that the skill can be applied in a real-life setting. A feedback
mechanism is also suggested so that individuals analyze their own success in applying the skill outside
the classroom. Improvement plans should always be associated with the application exercises.

INTRODUCTION
Summary
In sum, Developing Management Skills is not intended just for individuals who plan to
enter managerial positions or who currently manage organizations. It is meant to help you
better manage many aspects of your life and relationships. It is intended to help you actu-
ally improve your behavior, to elevate your competence, and to become more effective in
your relationships with different kinds of people. It is intended to improve your social and
emotional intelligence. John Holt (1964, p. 165) succinctly summarized our intention by
equating management skill to intelligence:
When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score
on a certain kind of test or even the ability to do well in school; these are at best
only indicators of something larger, deeper, and far more important. By intel-
ligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations. The true
test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave
when we don’t know what to do.
Fostering the development of such intelligence is the goal of Developing Management Skills.

Step 2: Get copies of the associates’ version of this instrument from your instructor. An
alternate version has been provided in the Instructor’s Manual that uses “he” or “she”
instead of “I” in the questions. Give copies to at least three other people who know you
well or who have observed you in a situation in which you have had to lead or manage
others. Those people should complete the instrument by rating your behavior. Bring the
completed surveys back to class and compare: (1) your own ratings to your associates’ rat-
ings, (2) your associates’ ratings to the ratings received by others in the class, and (3) the
ratings you received to those of a national norm group.
Subsections of this instrument appear in each chapter throughout the book.

INTRODUCTION
When faced with a complex or difficult problem that does not have an easy solution:
______ 15. I try out several definitions of the problem. I don’t limit myself to just one way to
define it.
______ 16. I try to unfreeze my thinking by asking lots of questions about the nature of the
problem before considering ways to solve it.
______ 17. I try to think about the problem from both the left (logical) side of my brain and
the right (intuitive) side of my brain.
______ 18. Ido not evaluate the merits of an alternative solution to the problem before I have
generated a list of alternatives. That is, I avoid deciding on a solution until I have
developed many possible solutions.
______ 19. I have some specific techniques that I use to help develop creative and innovative
solutions to problems.
When trying to foster more creativity and innovation among those with whom I work:
______ 20. I make sure there are divergent points of view represented or expressed in every
complex problem-solving situation.
______ 21. I try to acquire information from individuals outside the problem-solving group
who will be affected by the decision, mainly to determine their preferences and
expectations.
______ 22. I try to provide recognition not only to those who come up with creative ideas (the
idea champions) but also to those who support others’ ideas (supporters) and who
provide resources to implement them (orchestrators).
______ 23. I encourage informed rule-breaking in pursuit of creative solutions.

44 INTRODUCTION
“My Dear Mrs. Anglesea: I received your letter, and hasten to reply. I should
have preferred to give you my serious news in person, but since you insist on it, I
give it you now in writing. Under all the circumstances, I need not fear even to give
you a shock, when I tell you that Col. Angus Anglesea died at——”
“Good Lord! then the man is dead, sure enough!” exclaimed the
widow, breaking off from her readings and looking up at her
companion.
“Lord ’a’ mercy! So he is! But read on! Don’t stop! Let’s hear all
about it!” exclaimed Miss Sibby.
“Oh, I can’t! I can’t! It seems so strange! He was so strong and
healthy I thought he’d live forever almost! I thought he’d outlive me,
anyways. And now he’s dead! It don’t seem possible, you know,” said
the widow, with a total change of manner.
“Why, Lord! I thought you suspicioned as it was your husband’s
death as Mrs. Force was a-keeping from you.”
“No, I didn’t. It was all my nonsense. I hadn’t a notion as he could
die, and he the perfect pictor of life and health. And to be cut off in
his prime!”
“Why, woman, you seem like you was sorry for the man as robbed
and deserted you!”
“Don’t speak of that now, Miss Sibby. It’s mean to speak ill of the
dead, who can’t answer you back again!” said the widow.
“And now I know you are sorry for him. And yet you ’lowed if he
was dead you would not go into mourning for him!”
“Yes, but I didn’t think he was dead then, or that he would ever die
in my lifetime. I—I didn’t know,” said the widow, in a breaking voice
that she tried hard to steady.
“Well! them as would understand a widdy, sez I, need to have a
long head, sez I! I knowed as you was awful tender-hearted and
pitiful, Mrs. Anglesea. But I ralely didn’t think as you’d take on about
him.”
“I’m not taken on about nobody. But a woman needn’t be a wild
Indian, or a heathen, or cannibal, I reckon. A Christian’s ’lowed to
have some sort o’ feelin’s. Now let me read the rest of my letter.”
And she resumed the perusal of her epistle, but in silence. She read
all the particulars of Anglesea’s death as they were given by Mrs.
Force in her own writing, and also in the slips cut from the Angleton
Advertiser and inclosed in the letter. All except the concluding
paragraph of the eulogy, giving the statement of his two marriages.
These were cut off, in kindness to her, who thought herself his lawful
wife.
When she had finished she gave all into Miss Sibby’s hands, and
sat and watched in moody silence while the old lady adjusted her
spectacles and slowly read them through.
“They speak very highly of the poor man in that there newspaper.
He must have repented of his sins and made a good end, after all,”
said Miss Sibby, very solemnly, as she returned letters and papers
into Mrs. Anglesea’s hands.
“It was very thoughtful of Mrs. Force to send me down this box of
mourning—very thoughtful. And I am very thankful to her for it,”
murmured the widow, as if speaking to herself.
“Then you will go in mourning for him?” said Miss Sibby.
“Of course I shall.”
No more was said just then.
Miss Bayard stayed to tea. And then, seeing that her friend was
very much depressed in spirits, she volunteered to stay with her all
night; a favor for which the widow was really very grateful.
The next morning, however, the elastic spirits of the lady from the
mines had risen to their normal elevation, and Miss Sibby, with
relieved feelings, left Mondreer to spread the news of Angus
Anglesea’s death far and wide through the neighborhood.
And it is perfectly safe to say that the woman whom he had so
deeply wronged was the only individual in the whole community who
felt the least pity for his premature departure.
CHAPTER XI
“MERRY AS A MARRIAGE BELL”
The first of April was a perfect day. The sky was a canopy of
deepest, clearest blue. The sun shone in cloudless splendor. The trees
in all the parks were in full leaf or blossom. The grass was of that
fresh and tender green only to be seen at this season. The spring
flowers were all in bloom, with radiance of color and richness of
fragrance. Birds were singing rapturously from every bush and
branch.
“A lovely day! Just the day for a wedding!” said Nanny Grandiere,
as she threw open the shutters of her bedroom window, that looked
out upon one of the most beautiful parks of the city.
Her three sisters, who occupied the same double-bedded room
with herself, sleeping two in a bed, jumped up and ran across the
room to join her.
“Yes, a beautiful day! ‘Blessed is the bride that the sun shines on,’
you know. Oh! I am so glad we all came here!” said Polly.
“And I am glad it is going to be a quiet wedding, with only
ourselves. Oh, girls! I should not have wanted to come if they had
been going to have a grand wedding, after the manner of these
fashionable city people. I should have been scared to death among so
many fine strangers. But now it will be real jolly!” said Peggy.
“And Mr. Force says that as there are enough of us we may have a
dance, after the bride and groom have gone,” chimed in Sophy.
“‘After the bride and groom have gone!’” echoed Nanny. “That will
be ‘Hamlet’ without the Prince of Denmark.”
“Well, it can’t be helped. We must have the dance without them or
not at all. You know the ceremony is to be performed at half-past
seven, the refreshments served at eight o’clock, and the bride and
groom will leave the house at nine to catch the nine-thirty train to
Baltimore, where they will stop. To-morrow morning they go on to
New York, and the day after that they sail for Liverpool,” exclaimed
Sophy.
“Yes, I know; but I don’t know why it should be so. I think they
might just as well stay here and dance all night with us, and take an
early train straight through to New York, as to start from here this
evening and stop all night in Baltimore. I think it would be kinder in
them, considering how far they are going, and how long they will be
away.”
“But it would be so fatiguing to Odalite. At least, Mrs. Force said
so. This is her plan,” Polly explained.
“Well, we had better hurry and dress. It is very warm in this room.
Think of feeling summer heat on the first of April in a room where
there is no visible fire! Oh! this heating by steam and lighting by gas
is just wonderful!” exclaimed Sophy.
“I like open wood fires and astral lamps best,” said Nanny.
“Oh! but the modern improvements are so clean and tidy!” put in
Peggy.
“I wonder what our colored servants would say to them,” mused
Polly, aloud.
“And even others—Miss Sibby, for instance. What would Miss
Sibby say to gas and steam?” suggested Sophy.
“Oh! I can tell you what she would say,” exclaimed Wynnette, who
suddenly entered the room, and mimicked the old lady. “She would
say: ‘Them as has the least to do with gas and steam, sez I, comes the
best off, sez I.’ That would be her ipse dixit, for she don’t believe in
newfangled notions, as she calls our boasted modern
improvements.”
“Oh, Wynnette! Already dressed! and we not half ready! We shall
be late, I fear,” exclaimed Sophy.
