Customer Reviews

New Managers/HR people - gain an insight into the black art!
Whether you're New to management, just been promoted to a management position (yet haven't a clue on how you'll cope) or if you're working in HR management, you'll find this book useful. Well seasoned managers will intuitively recognise all the techniques many of which are common sense. Well laid out, good simple language and none of the touchy/feely HR stuff - its a good read overall.

An excellent bullet-point guide to the essentials
This book is a great reference for new managers or those aspiring to a management role. It provides clear, bullet-point tips and advice on most of the essential skills of management. Each topic is covered in just a few pages so you don't have to trawl through a lengthy and boring book to get the information you need.

Ideal for "Just-in-time" and "Just-enough" individual training needs. A bit more detail on each subject would have been good, however I accept that this may have detracted from the quick accessibility of the information so no real gripes there.

Overall, an excellent resource and an excellent buy.
