Getting Past No
An article by Roy Howells first published in The Training Journal June 2003
A recent report commissioned by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and the Centre for Management and Policy Studies (CMPS) drew attention to the adverse effects that large-scale change programmes can have on public sector employees and their attitudes to work.

An article by Roy Howells originally published in the TMS Research Manual Third Edition 2003
This paper examines data relating to the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) scores of 180 individuals who were then categorised by the Team Management Profile (TMP). The purpose is to establish if there is a relationship between the two and if so, what the implications are. The subjects were primarily drawn from the upper middle ranks of the UK Civil Service who had applied for a training course on EQ.
