Leading People Through Disasters by Kathryn McKee Liz Guthridge Pdf

Sooner or later, most organizations will face some kind of disaster--flood, fire, hurricane, earthquake, workplace violence, bombings, even the arrest or sudden death of the CEO. Existing books on crisis management deal almost exclusively with physical breakdowns, logistics issues, data losses and environmental and economic impacts. But it is people who actually make a business run, and Leading People Through Disasters is the first book to deal with the all-important human side of recovery. Kathryn McKee and Liz Guthridge show how to ensure that your business continuity plan addresses human as well as business issues and they offer detailed advice on what to do when disaster actually strikes--how to keep people safe, calm, and informed; help managers care for employees; and deal with employees' immediate and ongoing emotional and psychological needs while getting the organization back on its feet. This comprehensive guide features a wealth of examples, checklists, forms, and other practical tools that will help you take action when you need it most.

Managing Projects, Managing People by David Parker,David William Parker,Michael A. Craig Pdf

With so many organisations using projects to implement change, and easy-to-use computer packages greatly reducing the mechanistic aspects of project planning, project managers now require more highly developed leadership skills than even before. Managing Projects, Managing People draws on theoretical aspects of managing and mitigating risks, motivational and leadership theory and excellent communication to provide the reader with the skills required for project management in today's business environment. In addition to the theoretical foundations, attention is given to PRINCE (Projects IN Controlled Environments) that supports and frames the application of projects to ensure conformance, compliance, adequate reporting procedures, due diligence and communication to all stakeholders. Managing Projects, Managing People takes a nontraditional approach to project management and is designed to facilitate the reader's understanding of the principles of managing a project. The book addresses most types of project, but particular emphasis is given to the non-manufacturing sector and, especially, the services sector. Chapters contain examples and relevant case studies to further demonstrate and support the foundations and skills addressed throughout. For academics prescribing this text, a comprehensive instructor's manual and power point presentations are provided on CD.
