EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT: For Busy Managers
STATE SERVICES COMMISSION
114p. 1974. $4.95 plus 65c p & p
Management has been described as “what managers do”. But what is that? Getting things done? Getting other people to do them? Using resources economically? And what does the ‘effective’ manager do? This book looks at answers to such questions. It has been written as an introduction to the subject, especially for New Zealand managers who want to manage their organisation better.

PROFESSIONALLY SPEAKING

“Speech is power; speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel”, said Emerson. Ignorance is the biggest stumbling block in the path of the aspiring public speaker. Your purpose in speaking must be that you have something to say, rather than that you have to say something. This inexpensive booklet will help the person who has to speak professionally.
