• Managing the bully - Checklist 225

The human costs for people who are bullied are high in terms of long-term health problems, perceived job insecurity, and effects on private life.

• Managing for crisis management - Checklist 022

  £4.50

  The key to successful crisis management is advance planning and preparation.  In a crisis situation, there is little time available to consider options, and yet much hangs on the decisions taken.  The process of drawing up an action plan enables managers to consider eventualities in advance and provides a flexible framework for action, should a crisis occur.  It can also help to identify actions which will avoid or reduce the risk of potential crises.

• Managing a secondment - Checklist 044

  £4.50

  Secondments are often used as mid-career development opportunities, offering value to all parties.  They are not generally sponsored, although they may be subsidised by the seconding organisation.  For this reason, everyone needs to be clear on the objectives and expected outcomes of a secondment.  Secondments may last anything from one week to three years, but there is a growing trend towards shorter attachments.  Short or part-time secondments focusing on specific projects can provide value, while longer secondments cost more, though they do allow time for the maximum benefits to be gained.

• Neuro linguistic programming - Checklist 167

  £4.50

  Developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the early 1970s, the techniques of NLP were an offshoot of the American personal development scene. Originally based on observations of how therapists achieved excellent results with clients, the approach is now often used in business. NLP is all about communication, learning and change. It can be used to develop individual self-awareness and interpersonal skills, or to increase the effectiveness of organisational communication. Contexts in which NLP is used include culture change programmes; improvement of skills such as coaching or conflict resolution; and improving trainers’ or managers’ communication skills.
