If you are concerned about improving management skills, or are new to management, it can be difficult to know where to start.
Managing people is not straightforward; everyone is different, and even an employee you know well can react in an unexpected way at times.
So as a manager, how can you make progress in improving management skills? Where do you start, and how do you know if you are on the right track?
And how can you manage yourself, so that others have respect for you and engage in achieving shared goals?
Many managers I know have shelf loads of management books which gather dust.
They complain of a feeling of "information overload" and frustration at not knowing where to begin improving management skills.
This Collection is designed for the busy professional who needs to develop their personal and/or people management skills - in step by step, practical, bite-sized chunks.
It will increase your awareness of what you need to do in areas such as leadership and communication, so that you can build employee performance - and your business.
Each workbook in the Collection is designed using the System 55© model - containing 5 questions and 5 tools on each specific topic to help you on the path to improving management skills.
We suggest that you progress through the workbooks in the order shown below. Allow yourself a period of time between each workbook, so that you can reflect on the learning and see the progress you are making in improving management skills.
We also suggest you keep a personal journal to jot down ideas and key points as they come to you.
The Collection contains the following 6 workbooks - AND you receive 6 companion one hour webinar recordings - FREE:

Ann Halloran has created a set of brilliant and highly practical workbooks on critical leadership and management topics which not only tell you what to do, they also give you the tools to do the job.
