For managers who want sane-making solutions to their people-management issues

WELCOME!

Thank you for visiting my blog.

I'm Christine Baker and I have been helping managers for over 20 years to solve their people-management issues. (I've been a manager myself for many years, which helps.)
I'll be talking about everyday problems that managers face when developing their people and organizations and giving you some ideas about how to resolve them. I hope to build an online community which can stimulate interesting and constructive discussions and where we can learn from each other's experiences.

About Me

Hereford, United Kingdom
I run Requisite Development Ltd, a consultancy specialising in diagnostics and solutions for developing people and organizations, based on the unique Requisite Organization Management Model created by Dr Elliott Jaques. We coach managers in the use of our techniques to save time, money and stress, transferring our expertise to them so they can run their organizations successfully and harmoniously. I am also involved in a number of academic research projects and am now looking to conduct research into the maturation of mental capability in children and its implications for their high-school education (anyone interested in joining me in this particular field would be very welcome). Prior to starting my own consultancy I held senior managerial roles in retail banking and HR Development functions within one of the UK's top banks.

Appraisals time again?

It's that time of year again, when managers in many organizations are planning mid-year Performance Reviews. The chances are they produced some ambitious plans at the beginning of the year for each member of their team and now they are faced with the first formal 'how-are-we-doing-midway'meeting. Some of them may be dreading the interview almost as much as their subordinates. Conducting appraisal interviews is right up there with public speaking for stress levels. You know you'll feel better when it's all over and you know it's important for you to do it well - but you'd rather not do it at all.

Next month I'll be launching my new e-book 'Taking the Stress Out of Appraisals". If you go to the top of this blog and register, you can pre-order your copy now and save 20% off the normal price of $29.
