Written by leading experts, they are inexpensive, concise but above all authoritative guides to the subject at hand. The portable format allows you to carry the book easily to fit learning and development into your busy work life. Based on the 10 most FAQs, each chapter ends with a quick tip that can be taken on board immediately. A handy tear out card covering the most salient points allows you to carry the expertise with you wherever you go. 'Body Language' includes coverage of the following, specifically tailored to give managers an understanding of Body Language can help them at work: what body language is and why it is important in management, how it can help in understanding office politics, improving presentation, interview and appraisal skills.
