It is written in a highly accessible style and is illustrated with practical case examples drawn from a variety of settings. The reader is encouraged to continue their development through graded action planning and further reading. The book is based upon the Management Charter Initiative's Occupational Standards for Management NVQs and SVQs at Levels 4 and 5 and is also particularly suitable for managers on Certificate and Diploma in Management Programmes, including those accredited by the IM and BTEC.
