Prof. Cary L. Cooper, CBE, Lancaster University Management School, UK
"This book continues to be the shining light in guiding managers and leaders toward self-development."
Dr Gareth Edwards, Bristol Business School, University of the West of England, UK
"Fads and fashions in management development come and go but this is an ever-reliable source of inspiration. This is a book that puts the power to act in the hands and heads of leaders and managers themselves."
Professor Jeff Gold, Leeds Business School, Leeds Metropolitan University, UK
"Ideal for students of Business and Organisational Management at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and is equally suitable for both younger managers in the early parts of their career and experienced managers wishing to refresh their personal qualities after some years of operational experience."
Barry Curnow, Head of Human Resources & Organisational Behaviour Department, University of Greenwich Business School, UK
"This guide provides real support for managers to take charge of their own learning and all managers need to pay attention to making it happen."
Prof Ian Cunningham, Self Managed Learning College, Brighton, UK
"The changes introduced in the new edition mirror the strong focus on narrative and reflective sense-making, which are important in preparation for the positions of senior leadership our programme members aspire to."
Chris Dalton, Henley Business School, UK
"This book is an essential purchase for any manager who takes their development seriously."
Kim Turnbull James, Professor of Executive Learning, Cranfield School of Management, UK
"My introduction to the book was in 1978 and it has become a staple resource for my teaching ever since. The book recognises the fact that developing individuals is inextricably linked to developing organisations and if individuals are to be effective they need to know themselves and develop appropriate skills and attitudes. "
Richard Thorpe, Professor of Management Development and Pro Dean Research, Leeds University Business School, UK
