It uses case studies, workplace activities and discussion questions to enable readers to check their understanding of how management principles are applied in practice and how it compares with their own experiences. The learning development is clearly structured in each chapter to include objectives, quotes, insights, definitions and case studies.Introducing Management: A Development Guide for New Managers provides the knowledge and learning required for the introductory awards of the Institute of Leadership and Management, which combines NEBS Management and the Institute of Supervisory Management.Bob Johnson was well-known as a successful freelance management consultant and trainer. He gained extensive experience of the retail, service, government and voluntary sectors where he introduced competence-based training and assessment into organisations as diverse as W.H.Smith and the Ministry of Defence.
