"This is an excellent text that stands out from all the others I have seen. The authors bring research, theory and practical application together to create a most engaging resource which will undoubtedly help students understand how they can manage and lead people better. HR for the Non-HR Manager should be a core text in MBA programmes across the world".

"HR for the Non-HR Manager should be gifted to every graduate upon commencement, every manager upon their promotion and every entrepreneur who contemplates hiring their first employee. Backed by hard science, this book introduces non-HR managers to all aspects of team management with the aim of building highly effective, engaged leaders and, ultimately, creating competitive advantage".

- Rich Stanbaugh, Founder and Former CEO, NuArx, USA.

"HR for the Non-HR Manager is a reader-friendly book from two world-class scholars with an amazing ability to translate cutting-edge academic research into practical advice. It is a valuable resource for any line manager with people responsibilities".

- Fang Lee Cooke, Distinguished Professor, Monash University, Australia.

"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!"
