Joanna Howard

I specialise in the interpersonal area of work and managing - the skills of influencing, negotiating, appraising, leading and more. I work with what managers need to be able to do, what they need to know and understand: and and how to help them to learn and develop. Some of this is captured in my book "Managing More With Less: Handling Multiple priorities"

 

About the site

 

The first four sections of this site are about management.

Coaching and mentoring focuses on one-to-one work.

In the section on groups and teams the essentials of group work, team development and facilitation  are gathered together.

Better Appraisals speaks for itself. Appraisal can be the most demanding organizational issue. This section gives you useful ideas about making it an effective process.

The New Manager is a linked site where I present ideas for - guess what - new managers. I'm looking for comments and for organisations who will pilot the site for free in exchange for feedback on it.

Develop your potential is an area for use with Progress Groups and for individual use for junior staff and individuals.

Then the site widens out into:

Everyday Alchemy  which deals with the more personal, inward elements of our lives, the things that underpin the way we live and work.
