Management Guide to Understanding Behaviour: The Pocket Manager

A book for people who would like to manage themselves, their time, and their business better, but are too busy to begin.

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.

She enjoys detecting behavioural clues but admits that it is not always easy to understand what they signify. She never fails to be surprised by the diversity and range of human behaviour in its many and unexpected manifestations. She even surprises herself about her own.
