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, interview skills and many more - allow us to effectively use our technical skills and knowledge. They improve the way we interact with our bosses, co-workers, classmates, teachers, students and customers/clients. This book will be useful to all those who intend to succeed in their chosen profession.
