Dear Gcc-help ,

While searching for Great Books I came cross a few Titles by Gower Publishing 
that till now were not available in India and are now priced specially for 
India. These books are must for anyone keen on Best Practices in Business and 
Management and taking your organisation from Good to Great.

Here are the books.

First book is Managing and Improving A Poor Performer by Valerie & Andrew 
Stewart
Internationally Priced at GBP 16.50 (= Rs. 1320.00)
I bring to you a special Indian Paperback edition only at Rs. 250.00 plus 
shipment

Poor performers cost money. Mistakes mount, morale dips, as companies' image 
and results suffer. What can the skilful manager do about staff whose work is 
consistently below standard? This all too common difficulty, largely ignored by 
the literature of management, is the theme of this book. Drawing extensively on 
real life examples and interview material, it explains: 

? how to recognise poor performance 
? how to diagnose its likely causes 
? how to decide on an appropriate remedy 
? how to carry out the necessary action in a supportive way 
? how to monitor results to ensure lasting improvement. 

A highly practical treatment of a perennial management problem.

Malone
Internationally priced at GBP 38.00 (= Rs. 3040.00)
We bring you a special Indian Edition only for Rs. 300.00 plus shipment

How good are you at managing multiple tasks? What about problem solving and 
creativity? How quickly do you pick up new ideas and new skills? 

Managers in the '90s are measured against some tough criteria. You may feel 
that you're already doing everything that you can, and you're still being asked 
for more. But in one area you've got over 90% of unused capacity ... your 
brain. 

Mind Skills for Managers will help you to harness your mind's unused capacity 
to: 

? develop your ability to learn 
? generate creative ideas 
? handle information more effectively 
? and tackle many of the key skills of management in new and imaginative ways. 

Sam Malone mixes down-to-earth ideas with techniques such as Mind Maps, 
checklists, step-by-step rules, acronyms and mnemonics to provide an 
entertaining, easy-to-use guide to improving your management techniques by 
unleashing the full power of your mind. 

The skills in this book need to be practised. The best approach is to take one 
idea at a time and apply it. By following the book you will learn a whole range 
of 'mind skills' and be rewarded by measurable improvements in your performance.

And lastly I have for you Developing Senior Managers by Alan Mumford
Internationally priced at GBP 48 (= Rs. 3840)
We bring the Special Indian Paperback only for Rs. 275.00 plus shipment 

What mix of training and experience is most likely to help managers reach the 
top of the organizational tree? And once they are at the top, what training and 
experience will help them succeed? The answers to these questions have been 
distilled from personal interviews with 144 company directors and are presented 
in this unique volume. Using the insights derived from the interviews, 
Professor Mumford has constructed a new model for management development which 
attempts to combine what the best managers do unconsciously with those elements 
of the formal management development processes that have proved to be 
effective. The strength of his approach is that it it rooted in the reality of 
how managers behave rather than the values and beliefs of the management 
development specialist. Thus the book offers: for managers - specific action to 
help them prepare for board-level responsibility; for directors - detailed 
guidance on how they can improve relevant skills; for management deve
 lopment specialists - a new approach to developing managers at the most senior 
level. 

This knowledge reservoir book worth GBP 48.00 is yours only for Rs. 275.00 plus 
shipment.
