Creative Manager's Pocketbook by John Townsend Pdf

According to management guru Peter Drucker, 'the enterprise that does not innovate inevitably ages and declines'. The Creative Manager's Pocketbook is a treasure-trove of techniques, tools and triggers that will help you produce creative ideas. There are 10 ready-to-use techniques with such intriguing names as Nyaka, Merlin, Eureka and Brainfaxing. In each case the author explains what the technique is, in what way it can be used, how to apply it and what materials will be required. Elsewhere the book looks at the different areas (e.g. product development, customer service, efficiency) that can benefit from innovation and how to 'sell' new and creative ideas. The numerous exercises, tests and quizzes will keep you involved and help you discover just how creative you are.

Project Management Pocketbook by Keith Posner Pdf

The Project Management Pocketbook is a practical, step-by-step guide to managing a project through to completion. It looks at each key stage and identifies the management techniques that can be applied. From objective-setting through to implementation, the book stresses the importance of good communication, teamworking and influencing skills. All too often, books on this subject cover the process of project management and not the people aspects. This Pocketbook addresses both. "Project management requires a multitude of skills - from vision and planning, to monitoring, communication, leadership and, of course, delivery. This pocketbook pulls together best practice from these diverse areas into one simple, easy-to-read booklet. Refreshingly, it has been written from a general business perspective (rather than I.T.), and is therefore applicable to anyone managing change."Adrian Guttridge, Vice President UK & Ireland, EDS "A lively guide based on real events that any of us may encounter in our everyday life at work or (as I found out after reading this) at home."Johann de Waal, Director, International SOS Insurance Services Ltd

Time Management Pocketbook by Mike Clayton Pdf

"We cannot manage time. All we can do is learn how to use the time that we have, as well as we can", says Dr Mike Clayton, author of the all-new Time Management Pocketbook. Illustrated throughout, the book begins by explaining how to plan your time, how to balance the advantages of feeling in control against the necessity of remaining flexible, and how to adapt to changes. It then deals with ways of working that will make you more productive and looks at strategies for tackling one of the biggest problems you face: the challenge of 'too much'. A summary of the eight most popular time management systems in use comprises the penultimate section of the book. The author does admit, though: "I'm no fan of systems. Instead, I prefer broad principles, and a well-stocked box of tools to apply to different situations. To me, a system is a principle applied rigidly. And at some point, it won't apply. That's why I filled this Pocketbook with ideas to try; not just a single system." The book concludes by looking at how organisations can treat time as a strategic asset, systematically making better use of it for the greatest possible return
