Reviews for Preventing Stress in Organizations: How to Develop Positive Managers
"In its way, this is a groundbreaking book since it recognises that, no matter what the policy says, tackling organisational stress has to be implemented by normal, fallible people who happen to be managers - and that they could do with all the help they can get." (RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal, 1 September 2011) "The three authors – all chartered occupational psychologists – have used their real-life experience and coupled it with a good understanding of research and theory to create an excellent “How to” book for line managers. I would go so far as to say this is almost an essential read for anybody with line-management responsibility and it also has an important educative role for strategic managers who need to understand exactly the psychological culture that will protect and support their organisation." People Management (July 2011)
