Managing People

Written by authors who have been dealing with school management on a day-to-day basis for years, these books: give new headteachers the ability to stay afloat and get the job done right; and offer more experienced heads a refreshingly frank, no-nonsense insight into current issues in school leadership and management.

Succinct, short and accessible - each title in this series can be read in an afternoon, giving you time to get on with running the school!

New and aspiring heads will find that "Managing People" covers the immediate basics, such as: how different people cope with change and stress; how to motivate your team; how and when to negotiate and be diplomatic; and, how to discipline staff and when to start formal processes.

This clever little book will not only help you to understand the different needs of the individuals in your team, but also how you can best work with them for a well managed school.
