Work Wise: A Guide to Managing Workplace Relationships

212 pages. Cover worn. Signed by author. Text foxed.A management book with a real difference: written particularly for people who wo rk in not-for-profit, voluntary or service organisations and collectives - which are characterised by a sense of shared purpose. It is also written particularly for women, as it is they who often dominate the health, education and social se ctors where the principles underlying the book are most applicable. The underlyi ng philosophy is that management is a shared purpose not restricted to senior st aff, and emphasis is placed upon teamwork and the dynamics of teams. Numerous re al-life case histories deal with everyday issues of coaching, supervision, confl ict resolution and staff training. Pat Rosier's lively, no-nonsense style is com plemented by Helen Courtney's delightful illustrations.
