- Resilience Pocketbook
1
Resilience is about an individual's readiness to meet the world in a resourceful state. It means being equipped to deal calmly and confidently with challenging circumstances while being able to bounce back or recover quickly from setbacks. With improved resilience comes less stress, less stress-related illness and, ultimately, better performance – and that's good news, not just for the person concerned but for the organisation as a whole. The Resilience Pocketbook is packed with coping strategies, tools and tips to show people how to draw out, strengthen and put into practice their inbuilt resources. It includes a questionnaire to identify strengths and weaknesses, and there is a section on building resilience within teams – invaluable advice for team leaders, HR/OD practitioners and trainers.

- Team Coaching Pocketbook
1
Many if not most teams in the modern workplace fall well short of harnessing their collective capability, maintains Erik de Haan, resulting in loss of performance and poor results. For the author of the Team Coaching Pocketbook and director of the Ashridge Centre for Coaching, this is a depressing thought yet he's quick to point out that poor performance is readily managed if team members are minded to reflect intelligently on how they operate and have the skills to do so. "This is where team coaching can be beneficial", says de Haan. "It helps teams think through what they are doing and why, how they can integrate individual skill sets and how they can innovate." Written by an expert in his field, this is a practical, insightful guide to team coaching which will benefit both coaching specialists and team leaders

- Time Management Pocketbook
90
"We cannot manage time. All we can do is learn how to use the time that we have, as well as we can", says Dr Mike Clayton, author of the all-new Time Management Pocketbook. Illustrated throughout, the book begins by explaining how to plan your time, how to balance the advantages of feeling in control against the necessity of remaining flexible, and how to adapt to changes. It then deals with ways of working that will make you more productive and looks at strategies for tackling one of the biggest problems you face: the challenge of 'too much'. A summary of the eight most popular time management systems in use comprises the penultimate section of the book. The author does admit, though: "I'm no fan of systems. Instead, I prefer broad principles, and a well-stocked box of tools to apply to different situations. To me, a system is a principle applied rigidly. And at some point, it won't apply. That's why I filled this Pocketbook with ideas to try; not just a single system." The book concludes by looking at how organisations can treat time as a strategic asset, systematically making better use of it for the greatest possible return

Coaching is aimed at improving performance at work. This is done by turning the activities people do into learning situations, in a planned way and under guidance. The Coaching Pocketbook defines the coach's role and explains how coaching differs from the other 'helping skills' of advising, instructing, counselling and mentoring. There are four key stages to coaching, namely assessing current performance levels, setting outcomes for learning, agreeing tactics/initiating action, and giving feedback. The author explains each stage and then moves on to summarise the various skills required. Next, the opportunities for coaching and the potential pitfalls are highlighted. A checklist and a case study end the Pocketbook on a practical note. "Encapsulated my belief in the potential of people and showed me how to translate this into appropriate action" to win a global marketplace it is essential for managers and leaders to understand learning and to develop coaching skills. This pocketbook provides a very readable insight into understanding the challenge." "An amazing amount of ground has been covered in this little book – it unravels a complex subject in a very practical and easy to understand format."
