| Description: |
A book explaining successful business management methods. |
| Synopsis: |
Pack Up Your Troubles is based on a lifetime of experience in turning around businesses, changing behaviours and achieving better results through people. The nature of work is progressively being dehumanised by technology, increased size, financial constraints and resource deficits. At the same time, a new generation of employees has a bewildering combination of education and skill, expectation and a sense of entitlement. If they don't like what we offer, they vote with their feet. Absence is still a major problem for most countries in the free world. Retaining skilled people is a constant challenge as contemporary influences encourage them to move around.How do we 'engage' people? Where are we supposed to start? Talking about 'teamwork' sounds fine, but how do you get people to turn up, both metaphorically and physically?Pack up Your Troubles explains what busy leaders can do to tackle such challenges. It's jargon free, practical, and based on the experience of thousands of fellow 'sufferers', who have been similarly confronted and won through. 'What's the use of worrying', when you can use such a 'kitbag' of practical tools?It won't solve every problem but it will help address the challenge of human beings at work.being...well, human, actually! |

When clues to Abe's double-life as a peculiar operative start to emerge, along with secrets hidden in plain sight, Jacob begins to learn more about the dangerous legacy he's inherited, and the truths that were part of him long before he walked into Miss Peregrine's time loop.

Tales of Beedle the Bard
The dazzlingly brilliant Chris Riddell brings his magical illustration talents to J.K.
Rowling's gloriously inventive The Tales of Beedle the Bard in a fully illustrated colour edition of this essential classic for Harry Potter fans.
Translated from the runes by Hermione Granger, the volume includes `The Tale of the Three Brothers', familiar to readers of Harry Potter from the crucial role it played in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Mischievous and witty, these five rollicking tales are a deeply satisfying read in the tradition of all great fables and fairytales.
Kindnesses are rewarded and selfishness shown to be the ruin of many a wizard.
Burping cauldrons, hairy hearts and cackling stumps are met along the way.
Each of the tales is accompanied by a deliciously subversive and insightful commentary by Professor Albus Dumbledore, all brought vividly to life with Riddell's trademark wit and elegance. Former Waterstones Children's Laureate Chris Riddell is the only illustrator to have won the Kate Greenaway Medal three times, and is brought together here for the first time with one of the world's best loved storytellers in this new edition of J.K.
