The New Rules of Engagement
How many of your employees would stay with you if they were offered another job? CIPD research shows that even employees who are basically satisfied with their lot no longer trust their employer. After years of redundancies, zero bonuses, minimal pay rises and promotion freezes how are you going to get the levels of commitment you need from a workforce that no longer trusts you?How do we get these disgruntled, demotivated â¬" some might say just plain disgusted â¬" employees to take an active and hopefully enthusiastic part in your business?Johnson offers practical remedies for rebuilding the psychological contract and regaining commitment.Johnson argues that although trust has vanished from the workplace there are ways to develop a new psychological contract between employer and employee. This book offers practical, down-to-earth solutions that human resource and general managers can use to re-energise the employees (and themselves!).
The Road Dog
"The Road Dog" was a long time coming; many details of my life and wanderings are to be found between the pages. I knew I would eventually write a book containing fragments of the strangeness, love, and magic I experienced as I traveled. My inspiration for the story came from reading various accounts and descriptions of LEY LINES, the energetic bands that encircle the earth. Although part of this is fiction, I leave the reader to decide where the truth lies.

Mike Johnson's Obligation
I decided to give Mister Know my absolute what’s-what words of wisdom straight out. It’s nuts to being a nice guy, and to the blazes with the entire business. So I shouted at him, “You’re a hopeless case! I taught you everything I know about how to become a fantastic pulp hero, and you still can’t do anything right! You don’t even do a decent chilling, sinister laugh that every pulp hero must have to create ultimate terror among the criminals he’s about to shoot dead. You’re not ready to become a save-the-world-type pulp hero, and what’s more, you will never be. Look, why don’t you forget about becoming one of those courageous, never-dying pulp heroes, which is what I was before I got real old, real careless, and killed, and remain old Mister Know, that obnoxious individual nobody could possibly ever like?”
Mike Johnson Selected Poems
A meaty and satisfying selection of the work of one of New Zealand's most preeminent and prolific poets, tracing the development of his work from the seventies to today 'Johnson is one of New Zealand's most accomplished and inventive writers, at one with the word, its power, its airy fitness and everyday solidities, its resourcefulness, its craft.' Siobhan Harvey, Winner of the Kathleen Grattan poetry award, 2019 'The immense complexity of human relationships, social, sexual and everyday are at the heart of much of Mike's best poetry. However, there's an almost equal pull towards the empyrean: the cosmic mysteries of nature and the visible world, the beauty of the birds, trees and beaches which surround him in his longtime home-base, Waiheke Island.' Jack Ross, editor of Poetry New Zealand (2014-2019) '[Johnson finds] just the right formulation to deliver a descriptive vitalism that is open, alert, tentative, ambulatory, elegant, palpable.' David Eggleton, Poet Laureate, 2019-2022
A Season Forgotten
In April 1989 a series of citizen uprisings began throwing off the yoke of communism in Eastern Europe. In Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, East Germany and Bulgaria, dictators were forced to abdicate - all bloodlessly. Then came Romania. During the week leading up to Christmas, students and factory workers took to the streets. So did dictator Nicolae Ceasusescu's tanks, armored personnel carriers, soldiers and secret police. Blood soon was staining the streets of cities across the nation. Determined protesters would be shot, bayoneted, crushed - with thousands killed or wounded. Terror and torture gave way to courage and an abiding yearning for freedom in a season forgotten elsewhere around the world.
Shadows of War
Shadows of War tells the story of World War II as few Americans know it. In the mid-1930s a high school history teacher inspires a student to look beyond his small hometown. He becomes a Foreign Service officer, and they then anchor a World War II story that provides perspectives little known to Americans. A Romanian princess cares for more than 3,000 orphans and rescues more than 1,000 downed American flyers - and tussles with the SS to keep the POWs from their control at considerable risk to herself. On air raids over Romania, American crews must fly 1,200 miles - on creatively named planes such as Wingo-Wango and Jersey Bounce - at just 50 feet off the "deck" to launch attacks on the stoutly defended oil refineries at Ploesti. In Singapore and Malaysia a mild-mannered father of seven becomes a resistance leader after the Japanese invasion, and four gutsy nuns who serve as nurses try to stay a step ahead of the brutal conquerors.
