ALPHABET MANAGEMENT presents 35 years of Nick Drake-Knight’s management development teachings in an easy-access compendium, alphabetically, in bite-sized chunks, with a mix of new knowledge and handy reminders.
It is a treasure trove of inventive management practices interspersed with time-tested ‘standard business school’ notes. For junior managers and budding supervisors, this resource pack is a go-to guide for enhancing performance in diverse sectors of industry. Each entry concludes with signposts to further reading, ensuring a continuous journey of learning.
The alphabetical arrangement makes it equally accessible for junior managers seeking quick solutions to real-time challenges, or those looking for a refresher on specific subjects. The cartoons throughout, by Rupert Besley, match the friendly and accessible text.
But here’s the game-changer: ALPHABET MANAGEMENT goes beyond the norm by placing a spotlight on healthy thinking and the practical application of therapeutic principles in personal and professional growth. Junior managers can be the best, with a unique blend of knowledge and well-being.
ALPHABET MANAGEMENT is written for junior managers, supervisors and team leaders. There are far more of these kinds of managers than there are senior managers, and this book is designed to help them excel in their job.
The book is likely to be bought by HR departments, learning and development managers, and senior managers needing to develop their staff, as well as by the junior managers themselves.
The book is endorsed by several global business leaders who would order copies for their staff, on publication.
