Since 2010, Paul Mooney has written a blog, Confessions of a Consultant, which appeared first occasionally, then weekly, and now fortnightly. Some are short, others long; some reprise essential knowledge, others explore new horizons; all are thought-provoking. Achieving personal excellence is a selection of Paul{u2019}s blogs, with a particular focus on the development of the individual manager, arranged in five sections: career development, mental resiliance, brilliant communications, personal effectiveness, change management. -- Back cover.
