"This book is an excellent practical resource for professionals in human resource management (HRM). But more importantly, Kulik and Perry fill a gaping lacuna between theory and practice and provide a superb guide for anyone who is reflective about their supervisory or management skills or those who aspire to be managers and need a resource as a guide. This book is permeated with abundant practical help with the topics covered, plus a vignette of thought-provoking bite-sized case studies for readers to mull over and think through. Such case studies are cleverly infused within the the book and would be useful to academics to encourage discussion among business management students and those studying HRM... I congratulate the authors for this excellent contribution to management."

"I highly recommend this book for non-HR managers! This book is very easy to read and digest, like a tool that non-HR managers can use, going beyond an ordinary HRM textbook. Seamlessly integrated research findings and practical advice on each HR topic bring ready-to-use HR wisdom for action for non-HR line managers (e.g., dos and don'ts of recruitment; discipline steps and how to create an inclusive workplace). I highly recommend all non-HR managers to have this book nearby to grab and apply so that they can hire the right subordinates and build effective relationships where employees can flourish more under their leadership that benefit the subordinates, the manager, and the organization!"
