This updated and exciting fourth edition of Managing People: A
Practical Guide for Front-Line Managers addresses the growing needs
of front-line managers who are not themselves specialists in
personnel management but whose roles require them to have these
skills. A growing trend over the last two decades has given these
managers an increasing amount of responsibility of direct line
management, which can be extremely challenging especially if the
correct training is not given. This book examines how the different
parts of managing people fit together, whilst acknowledging that
different contexts require different approaches and recognizing
ongoing organizational, environmental and legal changes that affect
the employment framework. It recognizes the rapidly changing
context in which modern front-line managers have to operate and
acknowledges the increasing expectations of good leadership as a
necessity. However, the book also emphasizes the need for
front-line managers to understand themselves, their own management
styles and attitudes, together with the importance of empathy in
appreciating the perspectives of the staff that work under them.
Managing People: A Practical Guide for Front-Line Managers is
designed for both new managers and for NVQ/SVQ Level 4 students. It
is also appropriate for the first stages of Foundation Degrees and
for HND courses combining academic study with workplace learning.

the help of three spirits in Victorian-era England. Whether a

This book examines the life and times of John Bolton, a Cambridge
graduate who graduated as a Baker Scholar from Harvard Business
School, and returned to Britain to quickly chair Solartron, one of
the outstanding of the early British electronics companies in the
1950s. John Bolton also enjoyed a career of public service and
private good works. He led the founding of the Foundation for
Management Education, which had an extremely influential role in
the development of management education in Britain, and chaired the
1968-71 Committee of Inquiry on Small Firms, resulting in what is
now generally called the Bolton Report. The Bolton Report became
and continues to be the starting point for analysis of the sector
at a time when small business is again being seen as a major
contributor to the British economy and has revolutionized attitudes
and policy towards the small business sector at all levels.
Bolton's career covered a range of different dimensions of mid to
late twentieth century industrial and public life in Britain, and
the history is as much about these as it is of the man himself. The
intention of this book is to illuminate the institutions in which
Bolton worked as well as to paint a picture of his own role.
