Reihe: Practice Manuals for Busy Professionals

This new edition combines theories and practical insights to provide guidance and tools needed to navigate the complexities of today’s modern workplace.

With a wealth of experience across the management and leadership fields, Neil Thomspon addresses highly relevant and important contemporary topics for organizations across the world: mental health and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, health and safety and workload management. The book draws on a much wider range of theoretical literature than is usually the case in the management and HR field and, in so doing, avoids the oversimplifications that are commonly found. It offers a holistic perspective incorporating sociological and spiritual elements that are often missing from the mainstream management literature. Written clearly and accessibly, and with learning guidance offered in each chapter, the book is relevant and useful to professionals as well as to students.

Alongside other books in the Practice Manuals for Busy Professionals series such as Managing Stress, Values-based Practice and Effective Problem Solving, this book offers support to anyone whose work requires them to manage and lead others, whether in the human services or beyond.
