a. Coaching : Coaching is a form of development in which an experienced person, called
a coach, supports a learner or client in achieving a specific personal or professional goal
by providing training and guidance.
Example: Leadership, Delegated authority etc.
b. Job rotation : Job Rotation is a management approach where employees are
shifted between two or more assignments or jobs at regular intervals of time
in order to expose them to all verticals of an organization.
Example: Banks

c. Under assignment: In this method, a superior gives training to a subordinate as

his understudy like an assistant to a manager or director (in a film). The
subordinate learns through experience and observation by participating in
handling day to day problems. Basic purpose is to prepare subordinate for
assuming the full responsibilities and duties.

d. Committee assignment : Under the committee assignment, group of trainees are

given and asked to solve an actual organizational problem. The trainees solve the
problem jointly .It develops team work.
Example : NGOs
2. Off-the job methods These methods include:

a. Lecture : The lecture is a traditional and direct method of instruction. The

instructor organizes the material and gives it to a group of trainees in the
form of a talk.

b. Case Studies: It is a written description of an actual situation in the past in same

organization or somewhere else and trainees are supposed to analyze and give
their conclusions in writing. 

c. Group discussion: a form of systematic and purposeful oral process

characterized by the formal and structured exchange of views on a particular
topic, issue, problem or situation for developing information and
understanding essential for decision making or problem solving.
d. Transactional analysis : Transactional Analysis provides trainees with a realistic
and useful method for analyzing and understanding the behavior of others. In
every social interaction, there is a motivation provided by one person and a
reaction to that motivation given by another person..

e. Role playing : During a role play, the trainees assume roles and act out situations
connected to the learning concepts. There are no written lines to be said and,
naturally, no rehearsals. The role players have to quickly respond to the situation
that is ever changing and to react to it as they would in the real one.

f. Management games : This form of training is based on an artificial environment

that simulates the real situation in the management of the organization, whether
it's planning, decision making, control, communications or management itself.
g. Sensitivity training : Sensitivity training is a type of group training that focuses on
helping organizational members to develop a better awareness of group dynamics
and their roles in the group. The goal of the training is focused on individual
growth.

h. In-basket methods : In basket training is a training method to acquaint employees

about their job where a number of problems are kept in the "in basket " (usually
kept on the desk of the employee).

i. Organizational development : The process involves helping companies to increase

their productivity or value via change in leadership, power, policies, job redesign or
control. Organizational development will help companies of any size reach their
strategic goals
