Michael Skapinker article on the Charter Group debate featuring Charles Handy's report. According to the article, graduates of British business schools have reason to be optimistic about the current British economy. Skapinker indicates that this optimism is warranted for two reasons. First, because graduates believe the national mood is more favourably disposed towards business and risk-taking than it has been in decades. Second, they are excited by the prominent discussion about how best to develop Britain's managers, where the thought and research of Charles Handy comes into play. In response to such positive research and discussion, a group of companies responded by launching the Charter Group Initiative. The Charter Group plans to treat their investment in management development like any other strategic investment and to keep their managers fully informed of the development opportunities on offer. Additionally, the Group plans to establish a national management qualification, which would introduce the Chartered Manager into British industrial life. The debate centers on the advisability of encouraging young people to become Chartered Managers.
