Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir's second edition which includes a wealth of new material is perfect for managers, directors and any other stakeholder in a leadership or managerial position in adult social care. It contains stories of challenges, explores basic problem-solving skills and provides clear pragmatic advice on handling complex issues with regards to managing Carers, creating a genuinely compassionate environment and providing an efficient service. Most health and social care leadership and management books were written by managers, former managers and anyone else but front line Carers. There are issues facing Carers which rarely get through these 'open-door' policies which most managers are implementing. Important feedback from Carers rarely make it to the boardrooms of executive directors and government agencies where also the Carers have no representation. This memoir reflects the author's years of experience working in the UK adult social care sector. If you need genuine undiluted feedback from frontline care employees, then this would certainly help. From reading this memoir, you would gain lots of ideas that you can implement in your setting. You can stop making any more assumptions about why your care home's atmosphere is devoid of any compassion. This memoir is neither a textbook nor written by an editorial team for your delight but there are lots of very rich, clear and concise contents to keep you interested.
