Books

Here are a few titles, we have really enjoyed and found useful

"Executive Coaching" by Myles Downey

A fantastic introduction to the world of coaching within a business environment for any manager, professional or aspiring coach packed with ideas to practice and use.

"Offensive Marketing" and "Even More Offensive Marketing" by Hugh Davidson

Hugh Davidson believes that offensive marketing is a “profit-orientated approach to business that permeates not just the marketing department, but the entire business” and that “it requires a dedication to strategy and planning” and then goes on to show us how. A provocative, stimulating and inspiring study of what is essentially successful business practice.

"Relax, it’s only uncertainty" by Philip Hodgson and Randall P. White

The business book shelves are full of titles on leadership and change but rarely are these topics combined in a thoroughly readable, entertaining, insightful and practical manner. A handbook for leaders wishing to be more comfortable and more confident in this ever changing world of business.
