Health professionals often take on managerial roles at short notice
and with little or no preparation. Although they may be highly
clinically qualified and accomplished, the practicalities and
relationships involved in management - helping staff to feel
motivated and valued, building and leading teams, managing meetings
and presentations, writing reports and managing change, to name but
a few - present new challenges and pitfalls for which they are
unprepared. This book is for managers and prospective managers who
want to approach their new responsibilities professionally from the
very beginning. Based on the authors' successful "Vital Signs"
education programme, it identifies the critical skills needed to
hit the ground running as a manager. It is an accessible, easily
comprehensible guide to gaining the self-confidence and the respect
of staff, and to creating a steady platform for acquiring and
mastering a wide range of skills in the future. 'This book is
dedicated to helping leaders and managers prepare for people
responsibilities. It also addresses three areas which usually make
leaders and managers uncomfortable - running meetings successfully,
making presentations and writing reports. [It] gives accessible and
practical examples and I have no hesitation in commending it to a
wide readership.' - From the Foreword by John Edmonstone

A sailor crossing the Atlantic in a small yacht would want to
minimize excess baggage. But it would be unthinkable not to carry
more fresh water than seemed necessary, to survive unexpected calms
or storms. Yet the imperative of profit, especially over the last
century, has driven modernity towards 'lean, mean' strategies in
every area of life; squeezing waste out of commercial,
technological and environmental systems may make money in the short
term, but is our highly geared, highly strung way of life
sustainable? Andrew Price, sailor, explorer and environmental
scientist at the University of Warwick argues that in the
long-term, spare capacity actually pays. From the destruction of
New Orleans to the loss of the world's fish-stocks and intractable
problems such as MRSA, Slow-Tech demonstrates how the reckless
pursuit of efficiency and cost-effectiveness frequently backfires.
It makes the case for robustness as an equally important measure of
performance in fields as diverse as healthcare, military operations
and engineering. Unexpected and counter-intuitive yet convincing
and timely, Slow-Tech offers an alternative vision for life in the
twenty-first century - a rounded vision of balance and robustness
that would be healthier for the planet - and healthier for us.
In this unique and comprehensive textbook, the authors examine the
challenges faced all around the world with regard to major
infrastructure project management, and they champion a fresh
approach that takes into account the interdependencies between
economic, social, political, technological and legislative
environments. Managing, developing and investing in crucial
infrastructure is essential to keep up with the challenges of a
fast-paced and globalised world, but affecting and overseeing
change requires a deep understanding of complex interlocking
systems. To this end the book is neatly divided into three key
parts: project appraisal, maximising integrated supply chains, and
implementing value-enhancing practices. This is the ideal companion
for courses on any aspect of civil engineering and construction
project management including modules in infrastructure planning,
infrastructure management, construction management and business
management. The book will also appeal to practitioners involved in
the management of capital and infrastructure projects.
The first textbook of its kind, taking a uniquely global approach
to project management in construction. Using a wealth of case
studies from around the world to explain theory and practice, the
authors take a business-oriented, decision-making approach to
project management and the challenges it faces in the modern world.
The book covers topics highly relevant to the challenges and
opportunities currently facing the global construction industry,
including managing culturally-diverse and globally dispersed teams,
international project finance and global stakeholders in projects.
Management of Global Construction Projects is essential reading for
both students of construction management and professionals looking
to understand construction project management in a truly global
context.
