<< On this point ( a wealth of information on management and career
development) I'm not so sure. There certainly are a lot of leadership books
on the shelves, but I haven't been terribly satisfied with what my limited
research has uncovered, considering material should be appealing to the busy
operational pilot on the "go." I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Also,
for the individual to become "interested" there needs to be a stimulus, some
early exposure. The advantages aren't necessarily intuitively obvious.>>
The CRM materials on management are legion and some get pretty specific.
However, if you are refering to general management materials for the GA pilot
or for pilot aspiring to a management position in aviation, then most of the
university libraries would have a fairly comprehensive selection. I suspect
the problem would come in separating the wheat from the chaff.
I guess I view the "stimulus" to be from within the individual. Given that,
guidance as to where and how to go is the key and maybe should be the focus
of the effort. The advantages are probably dependent on what the individual
sees as his goals.
