New Years Resolutions

For many, the turning of the year sees us coming up with another set of New Year’s resolutions. One of the best ways of making sure they are not long forgotten before the end of January is to build them into our everyday life: so whether you are already a successful manager or just starting your management career, read on to see what you could resolve to do in 2015.

Speed Reading and Managing Change

I’ve just finished reading an exciting detective story. It was quite a ‘page turner’ and I couldn’t wait to find out who the murderer was. I skimmed over some of the longer passages, skipped others and read ahead to the last few lines of a couple of chapters, desperate to get to the end as soon as I could and find out ‘whodunnit’.
