MANAGING PEOPLE

Managing People is a vital part of making organisations work well. It affects such diverse but related issues as staff turnover and productivity, organisational culture and product quality, learning and professional ethics. Managing People discusses the central debates in this area. With a strong ethical undercurrent, it looks at different ways of understanding people, giving approachable introductions to both psychology and sociology. It defines what personnel management is, and the differences between managing people and leading people.
