Description:
Mankind's struggle to perform well is universal. It is, however, more intense in a business organization, for the decisions made and executed by its employees impact the wealth of stakeholders. Driven by this concern, corporates pay more attention to hiring the right kind of talent. The growing knowledge economy has only made the need for competent employees that much intense. HR has thus emerged as the differentiator in competitive marketplaces.
In a job market surcharged with competition, improving soft skills is the only safe bet for employees either to seize a right job that pays well or to advance in career. This book, through a carefully structured framework that is seasoned with suitable examples, explores how the young and upcoming managers can master their understanding of Emotional Intelligence and in turn cultivate the essential soft skills that better their performance at workplaces, and also be a little happier.
Target Audience:
For young & upcoming managers who want to master their soft skills.
