Armstrong's Handbook of Management and Leadership for HR: Developing Effective People Skills for Better Leadership and Management

This is a book designed for human resources (HR) people to transform them into more efficient managers and leaders as well as to let them shine in their specialist roles.Focussing on the essential matters that HR professionals need to know, it functions as a great teacher into areas that might otherwise have been overlooked, funnelling knowledge about broader management and leadership business considerations and focussing it through the lens of HR. The theory is built upon with case studies, activities and self-examination opportunities and it really does feel to be a comprehensive, authoritative resource that will stand the reader well going forward.It can function as a great resource for somebody in the earlier stages of their career as well as an aide memoire and revalidation of knowledge for the rest of us. It is not dumbed down and neither is it lost up its own fundament with deep theory and impenetrable text as if it was a copy of a PhD-level research report. So the end result is accessible, engaging, helpful and dare one say enjoyable; certainly it was not an onerous read!For those who may wish to dig even deeper on a given point, there are extensive references throughout. Here is a book you may read many times, both as an initial knowledge-gathering exercise and as a reference manual to the future.This is a book that is highly recommended to its core HR audience and everyone else who has some level of leadership or managerial responsibility may find much benefit from at the same time.

I work as a HR Assistant and got this book in order to deepen my HR knowledge to progress in my company. Super useful book for practitioners starting out in their career. Would be a good book for Level 7 HRM/cipd students also
