A five-phased training activity was conducted with 23 midwestern metropolitan police managers, Participants reported gaining skill in individual and group problem solving and in communications. Self-descriptions of managerial behavior by participants grew more favorable over time, indicating they reported more behavior reflecting the goals of training. Co-workers, who were describing the managers in training on the same items as the managers described themselves, indicated that the managers were performing at a relatively high level throughout the training activities. No significant change appeared in co-worker descriptions.
