• understanding yourself and others • managing your career • delegating and motivating • selling • coaching • conflict management • crisis management • problem solving • decision making • projects • presenting • managing change • creating a vision
This completely revised second edition of The Leadership Skills Handbook is about more than just technical skills, it is also about developing the people skills, behaviours and values you will need. Full of tips, exercises and practical wisdom, it will help you to become a leader people want to follow.
