Abstract
For the course of Human Resources Management we were given a project to choose a topic in the book Human Resource Management in the hospitality industry.

In the project I will define management development, how management development help motivate employees and the purpose of management development for different organization within the hospitality industry. Another topic that falls under management development is personal development. In the project I will explain more why management development and personal development are so important.
