About the Author

Kate Keenan is a Chartered Occupational Psychologist with degrees in affiliated subjects (B.Sc., M.Phil.) and a number of qualifications in others.

She founded Keenan Research, an industrial psychology consultancy, in 1978. The work of the consultancy is fundamentally concerned with helping people to achieve their potential and make a better job of their management.

By devising work programmes for companies she enables them to target and remedy their managerial problems - from personnel selection and individual assessment to team building and attitude surveys. She believes in giving priority to training the managers to institute their own programmes, so that their company resources are developed and expanded.

As someone inclined to passive behaviour, she has always preferred to say nothing than risk ructions of any kind. However, assiduous application of the assertion formula and a passable performance of Mr. Spock and the Broken Record have allowed her to be taken for an assertive person for most of her life.
