From the Back Cover

Project and programme management in the early 21st Century are still relatively new skills, trades and professions.
For those people who are managing - themselves, their colleagues, their teammates, their projects - where do you turn to for encouragement, assurance and guidance?
Well, you are not alone; there are many others close by in society who are `managing'; each in their way may provide a benchmark or inspiration; so you can push forward; to think clearly and originally; to act confidently and effectively.
Who might we identify as these good practitioners of `Management in Practice' - the teacher? the scientist? the ringmaster? the sports official? those with experience? - these and others provide sixteen sources within this volume.
These themes of Management in Practice have been grouped into: Organisation Management x 4, Helpful Management x 4, Essential Management x 4, Creative Management x 4.

Each has its own inspiring illustration and sets of invigorating notes.
There are also stimulating questions, tickable lists and revision exercises for each group.
