Book Description

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.

Book Description

How to get the best from your working relationship with your boss and other senior people is the subject of The Managing Upwards Pocketbook. It begins by looking at what makes a good boss and what drives the relationship - from both the subordinate's and the boss's perspective. There is advice on how to build a partnership that is constructive, straightforward, trusting and mutually beneficial. Under the heading 'working to create impact' the book deals with such matters as taking a brief, objectives and targets, using timings and deadlines to advantage, and progress reports. Subsequent chapters detail how to communicate with senior people (including listening to each other), how to get agreement and how to handle difficulties such as poor information flow, broken promises, the 'leave it to me' syndrome and more serious issues such as bullying and sexual harassment. Job appraisals, are dealt with too.

Simply put, a competency describes the behaviour or actions that can be seen when a job is being done well. Organisations use competencies to get consistency in what they do, ensure people are treated equitably, enhance communications, improve stakeholder relationships and establish high standards of quality and performance. The Competencies Pocketbook explains how to develop a competency framework, how to assess competencies and how to reap the benefits from both the individual's and the organisation's perspective. It also describes why some competency initiatives don't work and how to make sure that yours does.
