About the Book

Essential management skills for managers, leaders, anyone that works with people. It which offers a comprehensive but easily read and easily digestible text.The book could be subtitled: How to be a great manager yet retain your principles, your humour and the respect of your staff'! It is a 'how to' book for managers that combines a little theory, lots of real examples and humour - a sort of 'it shouldn't happen to a vet' for managers. Each techniques (or lessons in managing) offers practical tips, observations and real-life stories to illustrate the points being made. Some of the vital topics covered include: Learning, trust and making mistakes; Presentation skills and how to 'fake it til you make it'; Would I really want this person to work for me? Leadership - symbolic acts, and never making people wrong; Shining a light on the shadowside of organisations; Making hard decisions - the joy of being a manager...and many other inspirational ideas
About the Author: Management writer, golf writer, photographer, poker player, and novelist. I have written, developed, bluffed, suffered and suffered, I have moved on from the relatively straightforward world of management and leadership writing with inferences of motivation, leadership skills, change matrices, decision making, communication, customer care, bottom lines, double-loop learning, stress, attribution theory, behavioural interviewing, project management, group think and Johnson and Scholes' Cultural Web, to the complex and unfathomable world of describing grass and hitting a ball into a hole and now to the bizarre world of making things up and writing them down. I have written for a number of golf publications including Golf International and am golf writer for Cambria Magazine. My book 'Tenby to Celtic Manor: A History of Welsh Golf' (2010) was an underground success in select parts of Cefn Fforest, but has not sold out totally and some copies can still be found on the back shelves of selected bookshops and newsagents, alongside original copies of 'Fly Fishing' by J.R. Hartley. Recent developments have seen me delve into the murky indoor world of poker. I have written a number of articles for magazines and am developing a deep interest in linking golf, management development, Wales and poker. My latest venture involves writing the great Welsh novel; The 'Don Quixote' for Dowlais; Notre Dame de Pentre; Crime and Punishment for Criccieth.... you get the idea. My first stab at this is a crime / Golff Noir / Taff Noir novel set in the mythical Welsh village of Mynydd Eimon in a undefined date in the 1930s - 40s ish, not a million degrees of separation from Mountain Ash at any time in the past 100 years. Prior to attempting to write the great Welsh novel ............ I was a columnist and feature writer specialising in business and management, training and consultancy, psychology, tourism, sport, music, humour ... and the 220 possible combinations of the above. I was the author of Tales From the Front (HRD Press, U.S.A) - and 25 Management Techniques in 90 minutes (MB2000), a contributing editor for C.I.O. (IDG Communications) and had written for a number of publications worldwide including: Across The Board (U.S.A.), Business Day (South Africa), Career Times (Hong Kong), C.F.O. (Australia), Golf Today (U.S.A.), Management First (U.K.), Management Today (Australia), Marketing Magazine (N.Z.), Public Servant (U.K.), The Age (Australia), The Guardian (U.K.).
