Leadership is about helping to bring the leadership qualities out of those we work with, so that leadership can be there at all levels. Leadership speaks of discovering and giving a sense of direction. It is to do with pathfinding. It is about both the courage to stick with a certain direction against all the odds and having the courage to acknowledge that the current direction is wrong and a new direction is needed. This book considers leadership and its purposes in depth: why we need leaders; the need to lead oneself before one leads others; the theoretical base of leadership. It goes on to look at leadership in practice, with special consideration of changing organisations, especially in the public sector. It looks at how leadership can go wrong, particularly around issues of discrimination and oppression; considers how they can be addressed;

The quality of leadership is often the key difference between organizational success and failure, creating either a positive and energizing place to work or a negative, stressful environment. This manual - for managers, directors, trainers, councilors, and human resource personnel - will help create cultures and working environments that motivate and inspire people. It presents effective leadership as inseparable from other issues of workplace well-being, and as something that can pay dividends in terms of higher standards of work, higher levels of job satisfaction, a better working environment, fewer mistakes, diffusing difficult situations, clearer procedures and expectations, and more opportunities for learning. To help unlock these benefits, the book provides background information and a theoretical underpinning on leadership in modern organizations, and includes exercises, leadership biographies, and presentation slides.

Getting the best out of an office staff comes from the skill and commitment of the supervisor. An effective supervisor is able to create win-win situations where everybody is happy: the employees fulfill their potential, the employers get the best return on their investment, and people who use the organization's services benefit from the quality of the staff member's practice. This important manual in the Learning for Practice series shows that supervision is not simply a matter of making sure that employees are doing their job properly. It also involves helping staff achieve the best quality of work that they are capable of, by maximizing learning, promoting high levels of well-being, and addressing any conflicts, tensions, or obstacles to optimal practice. This clear and well-written resource provides background information about the role and significance of supervision, as well as learning exercises carefully designed to promote professional development. Effective supervision is an important foundation of good practice and this manual provides a sound foundation for helping supervisors develop the skills they need to do their job to the best of their ability.
