Reviews
Samuel N. Modise ★★★★★
A very good read.
Vardis Montez ★★★★☆
A most educational and holistic approach to soft skills. Truly a worthy reference tool for any good leader/manager.
Description
Today’s business is all about people. It is about communication, relationships and about presenting yourself, your organisation and your ideas in the most positive and impactful way. Soft skills – leadership, team building, communication, decision making, time management, stress management, interview skills etc. - allow us to effectively and efficiently use our technical skills and knowledge. They improve the way we interact with our bosses, co-workers and customers/clients. That is why a strong soft skills set is considered to be very important. This book provides practical guidelines to develop soft skills, and will be useful to all who intend to succeed in their chosen profession – particularly the final year graduate/post-graduate students.
