Accessible yet thorough, this multidisciplinary text blends theory with practicality to highlight the importance of people to organizational success.

At the heart of every organisation are the people that contribute to it. Neil Thompson's latest book offers an outstanding guide to the art of management by highlighting the, too often taken for granted, importance of staff and their well-being at work.

- Is unrivalled in scope, covering 30 key tasks and challenges faced by managers, from recruitment and staff motivation to grievances and bullying
- Adopts a multidisciplinary approach applicable across many organisational settings for readers whatever their background
- Is written with the clarity and practical focus for which Neil Thompson is renowned, ensuring a navigable and intuitive companion for students and new and aspiring managers alike

It also a rich and succinct tool for practising managers.
