Summary
Personal Development for Life and Work is designed to help students recognize the importance of soft skills, critical thinking skills, and a strong work ethic in today's workplace. The text is divided into four parts: 1) It's all About You; 2) It's All About Communicating; 3) It's All About Working with Others; 4) It's All About Workplace Success. Chapters are arranged in short sections that include self-assessments, case studies, and activities that are appropriate for both business and personal situations. Topics keep the reader's attention; coverage is thorough without being overwhelming.
