Book Review: THE NEW MANAGER'S TOOLKIT - 21 Things You Need to Know to Hit the Ground Running

THE NEW MANAGER'S TOOLKIT - 21 Things You Need to Know to Hit the Ground Running

From a rapidly changing workplace, to increasing legal restrictions, to a shrinking (but more demanding and diverse) workforce, new managers have quite a number of factors to contend with…and that doesn't even take into account all the new skills they need to master and the pressure of their increased responsibilities.

But rather than being given time to figure things out before jumping in, chances are they need to learn as they go, discovering how to manage and keeping productivity moving without missing a step. This book will help them do just that...

World Aids Day - Dec. 1st. This year’s theme is leadership

As a workplace leader, it is essential that you spread awareness of this deadly and preventable disease.

On December 1st, individuals and organizations will recognize World AIDS Day. This year’s theme is leadership – from all sectors, including government, but also leaders among individuals and families, communities, non-profits and other organizations.

HIV/AIDS has been a global epidemic for more than 27 years. Most of today's youth have never known a world without it. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently published national HIV incidence (new infections) that showed much higher numbers that previous estimates. The time is now. Together, we can prevent the spread of this pandemic – through awareness, care, prevention, education and research.

“HIV/AIDS has now become a pandemic that has literally put the world at risk, affecting diverse populations in different ways”. –Dr. Nora Volkow, NIDA Director

The question is not should you participate, but how can you?
