Management Pocketbooks

We publish books on management skills, self-development, customer care, and all aspects of business and management. We also have a fast-growing list of pocketbooks for teachers, the award-winning Teachers' Pocketbooks Series.

You can use our Pocketbooks as self-development and learning aids or for training purposes. Written using accelerated learning techniques, the books are ideal for continuing professional development. There are over 100 different titles to choose from.

Popular subjects covered include: motivation, conflict resolution, mentoring, emotional intelligence, coaching, project management, leadership, NLP, time management, facilitation, managing change, team working, performance management and empowerment. Our books are very different, and not just because they are pocket-size. Imagine an overhead slide, the sort that trainers frequently use: keywords, bullet-point lists and lots of visual support.

Our Pocketbooks are very similar. We strip away all the superfluous information, the padding,and present just the key facts. It cuts down on reading and saves valuable time. The visual content (charts, diagrams and cartoons) helps with understanding and, along with the many acronyms, mnemonics and other 'triggers', aids memory retention and recall.

Information that is easily accessible is central to our publishing philosophy. Each page has its own subject heading and each chapter has its own graphic identifier or thumb logo. In this way you can get to the specific bit of information you're looking for quickly and easily -ideal for a quick glance just before an important meeting, interview, presentation or telephone call. Because they are so small, Pocketbooks have the advantage of being very portable. This encourages people to keep their copies close to hand and refer to them regularly - better, surely, than books sitting on a shelf and largely forgotten. 'The Management Pocketbook series is fantastic', stated a report in Business and Computer Bookseller. 'To coin a phrase - they're great!' reported Training Education Employment magazine.
