Southgate sampleTACKLING MANAGEMENT Self Coaching for Managers

Tackling Management has been written to help first time and middle managers to help manage themselves, their own development and their motivation.

Whereas other management books inform people about to do with and for others, this book seeks to help people know what to do for themselves on a physical and mental level.

Merging the experience of corporate coaches, Justine Ballard and Elizabeth Ferguson, with insights from Denis Betts, a rugby skills coach, the reader will learn practical ways to build resilience, to continually improve and ‘last the management course’.

Tackling Management is a short, easy-to-ready booklet full of practical advice, and interactive elements.
