Many who work in human resources feel sidelined or under appreciated and this text asserts that they will continue to do so unless they turbo-charge their teams. This practical guide provides anecdotes, case studies and self-assessment tools to do just that.

At the core of The Transformation Roadmap is a practical approach to support line managers in navigating organisational change, a satnav for scoping and accelerating change projects. It provides an instruction booklet - a guide to moving your organisation from A (today) to B (tomorrow) - bridging the gap between theory and practice. The book describes how change is managed in real organisational settings - based on an underpinning model of how effective organisations work. The model is grounded in Tandem Consulting's collective experience, both in Ireland and internationally, of managing hundreds of individual change projects across a range of commercial and not-for-profit sectors. The Transformation Roadmap explores three stages that occur in all successful change journeys - developing an overall change strategy, choosing specific change targets and systematic change implementation. It represents a stripped-down approach that is simple, but effective. It has been tested and refined in a variety of settings (for example, in the technology, manufacturing, financial services, pharmaceuticals and public service sectors) and uses actual case studies of both successful and unsuccessful change management projects. Essential reading for any manager who needs to get under the bonnet of organisational transformation. The author has the distinction of having successfully implemented complex change initiatives across a range of sectors. Michael McDonnell, Managing Director Ireland, CIPD A practical, no-nonsense guide which combines theory, case studies and models for future use. The Transformation Roadmap is a brilliant study of how performance can be improved through the effective management of change. Laura Burke, Director General, Environmental Protection Agency Mooney continues to shine a penetrating light into practices which differentiate successful from unsuccessful organisations. This latest effort, based on real cases, provides an insightful exploration into how even the most thorny change problems can be successfully tackled. Brendan McGinty, Director of IR & HR Services, IBEC Paul has condensed his insights into a very readable and engaging piece of work which will be the reference book on change for a long time to come. Richard Broderick, CEO, KAL Industries Having been on the receiving end of this wisdom, I confirm that this stuff works in the real world. I'm a fan.

In recent years, there has been a virtual explosion in executive coaching, ranking it as the 'fastest-growing' product across the entire people management arena. Yet, despite its growing popularity, the process is difficult to define: there's no simple answer to the question 'What is Coaching?'; the central actors (buyers, clients and coaches) often have divergent views on coaching's core purpose; and adding to the confusion, the term 'life coaching' is used without any agreement around how it is defined or differentiated from 'coaching' or 'executive coaching'. Delineating the boundary line between coaching and counselling is the central focus in this research.The initial task was to describe each of these practices separately. Sometimes coaching and counselling are described as if they are unified fields of practice with agreed methods and standard approaches; the reality is that wide variations exist within each discipline. A central finding is the increasing overlap between therapeutic coaching and counselling. Shared elements include purpose (maximising potential), philosophy (people can 'fix' their own issues), style of delivery (non-directive) and the importance of the relationship (unconditional positive regard) between client and professional.An understanding of the key differences is required by the players operating in this space to maximise the outcomes for people who seek support. They come with an expectation that we know what we are doing and deserve nothing less. The central point is that the roles of coach and therapist are different. Neither better, nor worse. Neither superior, nor inferior. Just different. This research has allowed for the first time the construction of a 'Territory Map' that sets out the boundaries between coaching and counselling.

China's drive into the 21st century has been fueled by the relationship—and competition—between Beijing, considered by some observers to be the capital of capitals in China, and Shanghai, the nation's economic growth engine. The political and cultural history of China since 1850 has, in many ways, been shaped by Beijing's exercise of policy over what was once a small shipping port and fishing centre. In little more than a century, Shanghai has cast off these nets and is rising to be the region's leading economic metropolis, a position it seems determined to hold, this time with Beijing's blessing. As Beijing bounds forward to host the 2008 Olympics, its majesty, well reflected in its cultural gems—the Forbidden City, The Temple of Heaven and the Ming Tombs—remains unfettered by the country's economic development. This vibrant second edition of Beijing &amp; Shanghai brings readers up-to-date on what's hot and what's cool in China's twin cities. Combining the latest information about restoration, entertainment, transportation and accommodation with historical writing, Beijing &amp; Shanghai is the sophisticated guide to urban China that travelers have always wanted. 230 color photos, 17 maps.
