Human Relations - Reece, Barry

. .

Résumé :
Master the interpersonal skills you need to thrive in personal relationships and to be successful in today's workplace. Interpersonal skills are now referred to as �power skills� because organizations say they are the most critically important for their workforces to develop. These skills are constantly being refined and developed throughout life, unlike other technical skills that can be learned in a six-week bootcamp. Reece/Reece's HUMAN RELATIONS: INTERPERSONAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL APPLICATIONS, 14th EDITION, incorporates hundreds of examples of real human relations issues and practices in successful companies. Topics of discussion include positive psychology and happiness, why emotional and cultural intelligence are worth more than a high IQ, how self-esteem is developed, the root causes of negative attitudes, personal branding and social media in the job market, and how companies create a dynamic company culture that attracts and retains employees.
