Synopsis

Nurture and develop well-rounded team players by focusing on soft skills development

People entering the professional world are better educated than ever before. Their technical skills are often off-the-charts, helping them make short work of even the most challenging tasks. At the same time, however, many of these very same people lack soft skills we've often taken for granted.

In the newly revised second edition of Bridging the Soft Skills Gap: How to Teach the Missing Basics to the New Hybrid Workforce, veteran business advisor, speaker, and consultant Bruce Tulgan delivers a practical and incisive roadmap to developing crucial professionalism, critical thinking, and teamwork skills. You'll also find: a collection of ninety-two instructive lesson plans designed to break soft skills down into their component parts and teach them one manageable piece at a time; an exploration of the soft skills gap, including what it means and how its impact on your organization will be felt; and explanations of why you can't hire your way around a soft skills gap. An essential leadership handbook for executives, managers, and other business leaders, Bridging the Soft Skills Gap is a must-have resource for human resources professionals, team leaders, and front-line employees who deal with promising, but unpolished, talent.

Great perspective, good for both millennials to understand themselves and how they are being viewed as well as for non-millennials to gain a better understanding of where miscommunications lie.
