Produktbeschreibung

This book is an indispensable guide to building your management and leadership skills and abilities. It includes activities which can be undertaken alone, in a group or as part of a programme.

In its seventh edition, the book is a carefully designed self-development programme aimed at helping leaders improve their performance, advance their careers and achieve their full potential. You are invited to complete a diagnostic career and life-planning activity first, before making a self-diagnosis of learning goals and priorities. Choose from 56 self-development activities covering a range of skills and competencies, including change management, coaching, collaborative working and emotional resilience. New activities include environmental scanning, using artificial intelligence, mindfulness and working effectively with groups. This new, updated edition reflects key changes in management and leadership practices over the last decade and is aligned to relevant professional frameworks.

This book encourages people to believe in themselves and their abilities. It aims to empower you to reflect on your experiences of tackling challenges in the workplace and shows you how to move to the next level in your career, to become the best leader and manager that you can be.
