There are useful suggestions throughout - both practical and theoretical. Each chapter is written by a specialist in their work so it is valuable advice.

	Leadership by Peter Gilbert Being effective and remaining human. The book considers leadership and its purpose in depth: why we need leaders; the need to lead oneself before one leads others; and the theoretical base of leadership. It goes on to look at leadership in practice, with special consideration of changing organisational configurations, especially in the public sector, and the part that organisational culture plays in helping us get the right 'recipe' for an organisation or group. It concludes by looking at how leadership can go wrong, particuarly around issues of discrimination and oppression; considers how they can be addressed in creating a truly person-centred organisation; and guides the reader to various sources from which they can learn more about 'bringing out the best'. 1-903855-76-4, Russell House, 2005  Price:  £17.95
