Book Synopsis Virtual Teams Pocketbook by : Ian Fleming
Download or read book Virtual Teams Pocketbook written by Ian Fleming and published by Management Pocketbooks. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be competitive businesses are increasingly going further a field for their talent and skills - drawing together teams of people with the best mix of experience and abilities, regardless of their location. This has given rise to the concept of the virtual team, a network of individuals who have a common goal yet rarely if ever meet. Virtual Teamworking - possibly across different time zones and against different cultural backgrounds, and often project-specific and, thus, temporary - poses specific challenges for the team leader. The Virtual Teams Pocketbook looks at the skills needed to lead a virtual team, at the required style of leadership, at the team selection process, at the cultural issues that may arise and at the process of developing trust and building a productive and cohesive unit. Without the recent strides forward in communications technology virtual teamworking would not be effective or, even, possible. This pocketbook looks at the options available and gives advice on selecting the most appropriate method and how to use it to its full potential.

Book Synopsis Empowerment Pocketbook by : Michael Applegarth
Download or read book Empowerment Pocketbook written by Michael Applegarth and published by Management Pocketbooks. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empowerment is often confused with delegation and, wrongly, is often seen as a form of power or authority over another person. The authors of The Empowerment Pocketbook prefer to liken empowerment to a licence that is issued only after those concerned have proven their ability and only when the scope and conditions of the activity to which the licence applies are clearly defined. This Pocketbook explains what empowerment is, what can be gained when it is in place and how to put it there and keep it there. It will be helpful to managers, trainers, consultants and all those people who are concerned with getting the best from their workforce. Areas covered include: identifying the need for empowerment, enabling the individual, implementation (nine steps to get empowerment in place) and, finally, monitoring and feedback.

The author lists them all, identifies the likely causes and effects and explains how to identify and deal with the problems. Described by one book reviewer as a '20 minute eye opener'.
Download or read book Feedback Pocketbook written by Mike Pezet and published by Management Pocketbooks. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lack of feedback and coaching to aid development is the third most cited reason for resignations at work. 'Netgeners' with their reliance on social networking and instant messaging have added even greater impetus to the need for performance feedback. Feedback is integral to learning: it helps to develop skills, knowledge and confidence, and reinforces desired behaviours. It can reassure and thus reduce anxiety; and it can help people see the 'bigger picture', leading to greater alignment with organisational goals and needs. The Feedback Pocketbook encourages managers (and trainers) to use informal, formal and generative feedback as part of their day-to-day approach to motivating, managing and developing people. It explains how to construct and deliver feedback, and demonstrates how to use the underlying dynamics (explicit and implicit) to secure feedback acceptance.
Book Synopsis Delegation Pocketbook by : Jon Warner
Download or read book Delegation Pocketbook written by Jon Warner and published by Management Pocketbooks. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failure to delegate or failure to delegate effectively is costly - to you, your colleagues and, ultimately, your employer. There are both morale and productivity issues. It's enough to make you cry unless, that is, you adopt the 'onion' approach which lies at the heart of the delegation process as described by Jon Warner in The Delegation Pocketbook. Think of your workload in layers, like those of an onion: tasks at the core need to be retained and more personal control exercised; those in the outer layers can be delegated, the more so the further from the core. To delegate effectively you need to understand your own attitude to delegation (a questionnaire in the pocketbook will help you here), what you can delegate and why you should do so (beware the wrong reasons!), who to delegate to, how to prepare properly and what briefing style to adopt - controlling, tentative, participative or collaborative. Warner recommends aiming for the latter style, collaborative, which is achievable using the principles outlined in his book. There is advice too on setting goals/milestones, using controls to minimise risk, how to monitor the process, warning signs to look out for and how to react, and maintaining responsibility and accountability. Recognising the contribution made by others and learning from the experience are also covered. How well do you delegate and what style do you adopt: controlling, tentative, participative or collaborative? This pocketbook looks at the what, when and how of delegation - an insightful and practical overview.

In conclusion, the book lists nine basic rules of motivation, ten ways in which to keep yourself motivated and 100 ways in which to say 'well done'. To coin one of these expressions, 'sheer class' Max.
