Review
“Tim Nolan is providing a resource for the human services field that is acutely needed. Leadership training and information designed specifically for our industry is often hard to come by and often incomplete. Not so with Tim’s work. I have had the pleasure of knowing and training with Tim during the past several years and I have become very familiar with the excellence of his work. This book is no exception. If every manager and supervisor in the human services industry would follow the clear precepts and practices laid out in this book, our entire industry would immediately be elevated to another level.”

“I have read the book “The Essential Handbook for Highly Effective Human Service Professionals. It’s an easy read but engages some critical thinking as you read along. It’s clear about what your responsibilities are as a Human Service professional to not only the client, but coworkers, supervisors and the organizations as a whole. Sometimes as reading it you may think this is “common sense” but in this era “common sense” is not so common and sometimes you have to be direct in your explanation about what is or is not acceptable professional behavior. Your book is direct, clear and concise without being demeaning. It is general enough to be able to be used in a wide array of human service fields but specific enough to get the worker to start to critically think. This is a handbook to read over and over again before you start to work and refer to during your career. It’s almost like a compass to always point you in the right direction.”
