"Unquittable" presents a from-the-trenches guide to the most

talent-minded, the hard-won techniques outlined in this book can be
adapted for organizations of any size and deliver extraordinary
bottom-line improvements with relatively little up-front
investment. Laugh-out-loud stories of how to implement, and just as
important, how NOT to implement talent strategies, bring to life
some of the personalities and issues (both good and bad) employers
can expect. Winning the war for talent requires more than good
intentions-success requires conviction, investment, confidence, and
time-and Unquittable delivers an engaging compendium of proven
solutions to the most challenging and urgent issues facing anyone
who hires and manages people.
'And then I saw it. And once I had seen it, I saw it everywhere.
Why are men still winning at work? If women have equal leadership
ability, why are they so under-represented at the top in business
and society? Why are we still living in a man's world? And why do
we accept it? In this provocative book, Gill Whitty-Collins looks
beyond the facts and figures on gender bias and uncovers the
invisible discrimination that continues to sabotage us in the
workplace and limits our shared success. Addressing both men and
women and pulling no punches, she sets out the psychology of gender
diversity from the perspective of real personal experience and
shares her powerful insights on how to tackle gender equality.
We see teamwork in every sphere of business, so why should sales be
any different? Sales is a critical part of any business, whether
it's for survival or to grow and scale. Often salespeople are seen
as independent hunters and farmers working to serve their company,
but that would be wrong. Salespeople may be the tip of the spear
when it comes to winning business, but great sales success is built
on teamwork. This book sets out to identify the key components and
helps the reader understand what it takes to build the best team
from people, skills, processes, technology, and systems. Broken
down into chapters that cover everything from the sales process and
managing opportunities, to the important role played by marketing,
and why CRM is not just a piece of software. Sales is a team sport.
Like all team sports there are those that play on the field and
those that work to help the team perform. In any organization
everyone plays a part. In the field of sales, understanding how
this all comes together will not only help any company, but also
anyone that reads the book and wants to get more out of their role,
or move their business forward and achieve greater sales success as
a team. The book is filled with personal anecdotes and real-life
examples from the author's career in sales.
Employment relations derives from the fields of industrial and labour relations, the latter of which have both been deemed demeaning to human beings as workers/employees.
South African labour relations history is also regarded as having been degrading to workers, specifically migrant, black and unskilled labours. After decades of research, psychologists and sociologists have been able to show employers, managers and supervisors the importance of understanding human behaviour in fostering a workplace characterised by high job satisfaction, employee commitment and engagement. Employment relations in South Africa: a psychological perspective explores the ramifications of the past while promoting collaboration between employment relations and psychology toward more productive and harmonious employment relationships.
Employment relations in South Africa: a psychological perspective considers questions such as the following:
- What is the link between psychology and employment relations?
- Is psychology important to the field of employment relations?
- Why were industrial psychologist contributions previously neglected by trade unions?
- Why did psychologists and sociologists contribute less to industrial/labour relations in the past?
Employment relations in South Africa: a psychological perspective is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, and will also serve as a valuable resource to human resource practitioners, psychologists, industrial psychologists, shop stewards, trade union officials, labour or employment relations consultants, and managers.

distribution of power. With "Leadership Mastery," you will identify
your strengths and adopt effective strategies to:
- Gain the respect and admiration of others using little-known
secrets of America's most successful leaders

next to the classic "How to Win Friends and Influence People."
