  Of all the tasks and problems any manager faces, perhaps the most centrally important is dealing with people. Day-by-day, month-by-month, the stream of issues raised by personnel matters has to be handled by persuasion, cajoling, formal procedures and firm action. Nor is it a matter of straight management skills: the responsibilities - legal and otherwise - of management can be a major burden in their own right. This guide to personnel management, in the Economist Pocket series, provides information on terminology, law, systems, procedures, documents, institutions and the best current practice, presented in an alphabetical format and enlivened by cartoons.
