Employers worldwide want employees who can demonstrate the so-called soft skills. This resource helps students to think about and develop these sought-after professional skills. The book highlights the core competencies they need to succeed in today’s workplace. It is written in a nuts and bolts, executive summary style. Like the utility of a Swiss knife, this book also includes questions for reflection in multiple subject areas. Version 3.0 comes complete with new and updated chapters. New chapters include What Employers Want, Deep Work, Systems Thinking, The Value of Checklists, and Translating Experiences for Employers.
