Management books

Henry Brown, Neil Dawson and Brenda McHugh (2018). Psychology, Emotion and Intuition in Work Relationships (The Head, Heart and Gut Professional), Routledge, London 

  A solid book on the basics of psychology at work for managers and other professionals. Yes, all managers (and anyone who works with other people) need a grounding in this important subject. This is a straightforward book that gives an easy and informative introduction to the subject.

Bob Selden, What to Do When You Become The Boss, Outskirts Press, 2008

A very practical and helpful book for new managers, showing them how to manage downwards, upwards, sideways and inwards. Full of useful tools and techniques.

Tony Kemmer, 2007, The Manager's Kitbag, Management Books 2000  

A book stuffed full of very sensible wisdom by an experience manager. Wonderful stuff for the younger manager and very good reminders for the rest of us.
