Personnel Management for Sport Directors

For athletic directors who handle any aspect of hiring maintaining or managing staff, this text explains how to develop leadership, people and management skills. It offers advice on helping student athletes, parents, coaches, officials and staff members develop their potential. The book also explains about mentoring and educating people, communicating clearly, resolving conflicts and effectively interviewing and evaluating personnel. ""This publication addresses a professional concern that is generally covered as a chapter or section in other books. Personnel management is constantly being affected by laws, regulations and court cases; and the authors do an excellent job in addressing these issues. The section on participants and parents is particularly well done, and has many strategies that might be adopted by athletic administrators."
