Management Training Resources

Management Training Resources

You are encouraged to use these resources – books, articles, videos – to broaden your knowledge, explore new ideas, and improve your management skills.  

Books

Some people might think books are a bit ‘old fashioned’. But they are still a great way to convey information. The links below are to print versions of each book, and there is usually a digital/Kindle version available too. I give links to Amazon due to their stock holding and speedy delivery. If you’d like to access the books via an Australian-based supplier I recommend you try Fishpond.com.au.

 
Online To-Do Tool

TeuxDeux.com
I’ve been using TeuxDeux for many months and find it helpful to track the daily/weekly to-do items. Online account is free. Small charge for iPhone app.

Management Education Websites

Video on Giving Presentations

Author of Presentation Zen blog and best selling book, Garr Reynolds, talking @Google about various aspects of effective presentations, particularly about using slides. Includes some inspirational tips on planning and delivering presentations. Duration 1hr+ and well worth watching for his style as well as his content – especially the audience questions in the final 15 minutes. (In a hurry? Skip to the 16:00 mark and watch from there.)
