Armstrong's Handbook of Management and Leadership provides guidance on
the processes of management and leadership with emphasis on what managers and aspiring
managers need to know and do to make a difference in their organizations. As well as
presenting the key skills required for effective management, it also deals with three
important areas of management: change management, continuous improvement and the
achievement of high levels of customer service.
An ideal resource for those studying introductory management modules in business and HR
programs, the book is accompanied by online material for instructors and by an exhaustive
set of questions and answers to help students test their learning.
