This post is published on New Year’s Eve. No-one reads blogs on New Year’s Eve – unless you do…
But it’s a Big Idea. We know that because, every New Year’s Eve, millions of people gather in groups from 3 to 300,000 – maybe even more. And they spend billions of dollars, Pounds, Euros, and Yen on food, drink, parties, and fireworks.
New Year’s Eve has become one of – maybe ‘the’ – biggest secular celebrations in the calendar. But, is there any more to it than that?
Our first new title of the year, Performance Conversations Pocketbook is now available in both paperback and ebook.
“Clearly sets out how regular Performance Conversations can be a great aid in focusing and motivating staff; we have found the skills section particularly helpful.”
Billy Doyle, CEO, Dundalk Credit Union
