Managing People

The delivery of modern nursing care is essentially a team effort, that is a team whose individuals co-operate with one another to achieve high standards. This book, drawing on the expertise of successful nurse managers, a nurse educator and a management lecturer, provides the reader with ''tools'' to enable him or her review and develop their ''people-management'' skills. The ''tools'' are in the form of exercises and activities designed to help the reader apply theory to practice and to take the learning back to the work-place. Topics covered in Managing People include leadership, team building, creating a learning climate and monitoring performance.
