象形文字

The bullying boss,Is your boss essentially a bully and, if so, why? What can be done to change this behaviour? And are you to some extent the cause of it?

你正派

Cash rich, time poor,Your boss calls you in and makes you an offer. For reasons too problematic to explain you have the following option: a week’s extra leave (5 working days) or £2000 cash (brown envelope, no questions asked!). You choose the week so he increases the money. How about £2,500? So if you take the money, he increases the time: 8 days.

受伤

Control freak,One of the commonest accusations made by desperate and frustrated staff is to accuse a boss (or colleague) of being a control freak. What does it mean to be a control freak? Why are people like this? Can they be helped or changed? How can you best manage a control-freak boss?

AGATE

Development plans,One way to ascertain both the age and the training experience of any middle-aged manager is to ask him or her what the opposite of ‘strengths’ are. If you think one has strengths and ‘weaknesses’, you are old-fashioned and clearly haven’t been on a training course recently.

慢跑

Does coaching work?,The popularity of executive coaching has taken many by surprise. Clearly it has fulfilled some important need. Just as the rich and powerful once needed a personal therapist both as a trophy and as an adviser, so managers now appear to have the need for an executive coach and their very expensive conversation.

辫子带来帮助

,Expectations … and how to manage them,There are lots of books listing brilliant interview questions and answers. In an escalatory game of bluff and counter-bluff, both interviewers and interviewees buy these books to improve their techniques.

凹室

Expensive experts/the consultant, the trainer and the facilitator,What is the essential difference between a human resource consultant and a management trainer? The answer is quite simple: between £500 and £1800 a day. So what is the difference between a trainer and a facilitator? Or between a moderator and presenter?
