Winter, G.Wiley2003£22.50 (UK)

Uses psychological tips given to demonstrate how to get the best out of people. Describes ideas such as a clipboard plan that sets out strategic goals at a glance for all employees, underlines the importance of constantly measuring performance against targets, and highlights the crucial differences between a leader and a boss – a leader deliberately works at creating and shaping corporate culture. Highlights, however, some techniques that may be suitable for sports management, but might lack the flexibility needed to deal with fast-changing market circumstances.
