Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book is designed for managerial supervisors who provide the interface between central administration and line workers. In the context of our rapidly changing environment, it focuses on specific managerial skills required for successful supervision (e.g. dealing with legal mandates, technology, motivation and appraisals), it identifies dilemmas, paradoxes and challenges faced by managerial supervisors, and it offers case illustrations of innovative approaches.
MoreLong description:
Managerial supervisors are those persons who supervise direct service staff, who oversee human service programs, and who perform macro practice tasks in their agencies on a daily basis. They are not clinical supervisors who oversee the treatment aspects of direct practice; nor are they administrators at the executive level. Managing Human Resources in the Human Services is the first book to address the challenges facing the often under-appreciated managerial supervisors who oversee and provide a crucial organizational structure for work that occurs in human service across the country. According to authors Perlmutter, Bailey, and Netting the successful managerial supervisor must be able to create and develop the organizational culture in which client-centered practice can occur, balance the demands of administrative leadership with those of workers who see clients, keep a client-centered focus amid the paradoxes that arise in the process, and maintain a healthy professional presence. Managing Human Resources in the Human Services provides valuable guidance to students of administration and to practitioners on the many difficult issues that arise for the managerial supervisor.
