Prof Yvonne du Plessis



In order for an institution to be steered in the right direction, the individuals driving that institution should be developed.  As Yvonne emphasised, the time has come for re-energising our libraries.  Human capital theories have been developed and expanded over the last two centuries. 
One of the problems which many organisations face, is that employees move up the ranks too fast, leaving huge gaps for development.  When individuals are promoted, the organisation must ensure that there are structures in place for development.  Mentors and coaches must be recruited for staff development.  Individuals must have personal  development plans and this must be discussed with managers and this process ties in with performance evaluation.
