The Competent Leader: A Powerful and Practical Tool Kit for Managers and Supervisors

Learn what skills are required to be a successful leader in today's business environment. The Competent Leader concentrates on the interpersonal skills required to be a great leader. Most people in supervisory, managerial, or other positions of leadership have exceptionally strong technical skills but are not equally strong in their interpersonal skills. This is because most people are hired and promoted based on how well they perform the "operational" functions of a position. This book will aid both new and experienced leaders in concentrating on the necessary skills to fine-tune their relationship-building skills. The Competent Leader is written in an easy-to-understand "how-to" format, it offers action planning guides and assessments which help transfer newly learned skills back to the workplace.
