Self-assessments and self-development opportunities teach readers to assume the responsibility for improving their personal skills and competencies.This edition addresses topics of emerging importance, such as generational differences. The text also explores goal-setting, the use of "branding" in the job market, technostress, and emotional intelligence. With EFFECTIVE HUMAN RELATIONS, students gain the insights, knowledge and relationship skills to deal successfully with the wide range of people-related challenges in business today.
