Description

Career Success: The Attitude Advantage is a unique text-workbook that presents soft skills to prepare for real world success. Focusing on keeping a positive attitude, improving human relations skills, and exploring career issues, this text is designed to increase awareness and understanding of the challenges and responsibility of being an employee. Each chapter opens with a case study that provides challenging realistic examples to build critical-thinking, team-building, and problem-solving skills. The Analyze section follows the case to build key concepts and provide additional human relations content. Each chapter then concludes with an additional case and an opportunity for self-assessment of key information that has been presented.
