Riassunto

The Second Edition of this enormously successful book is packed with more ways to maximize your potential with added sections on self-evaluation. The book contains six pilot-tested modules each with a cluster of skills and a self-assessment questionnaire (with response sheets), which enables the reader to record individual strengths and weaknesses to keep track of the process of learning. Author Seema Sanghi covers the following areas: managerial skills; communication skills; group dynamics skills; environment management skills; and self-enhancement powers.

Recensione:

The book is generally easy on the eye and quick to read, although the odd circumlocution has slipped through the sub-editing process. There is, for my liking, too much space devoted to the various questionnaires and assessments and too little to imaparting ways of improvement.
