Abstract: This paper describes the drivers of management development and learning by HRD managers in strategy execution and attainment of their objectives as well as the obstacles they face while implementing their management practices. The authors used PCA method to assess the relationship between drivers of strategy execution and management development. The study found two main conclusions concerning the sample of HRD managers surveyed. These findings are: 1) the driver of rules was found to be the strongest driver that HRD managers would spread out to reaching their organisational objectives in employee training, development and learning processes; 2) the second important driver rested on emotions which deals with getting commitment to the manager's objectives by his/her employees and guiding them successful in development and learning processes. It brings a new perspective in terms of strategy execution for the management development.
