The (Kindle) Harassed Manager’s Guide to Change
Posted on July 11th, 2012 by Jane
In a previous life, when I had what I laughingly call a proper job, unlike the dream job I have now (It’s true, I LOVE what I do so it really never feels like working at all) I spent a lot of time helping people manage change. As part of that role I put together a wee book for managers encapsulating the main elements of managing change. It had to be short as the poor souls were stretched to bursting, and it
Has a Book Ever Changed Your Life?
Posted on July 2nd, 2012 by Jane
Have you ever been on those personal development courses where they ask you to bring your favourite book, or the most significant book you’ve ever read?

It chimes with much of my own beliefs and we all like to
