The importance of strong interpersonal skills cannot be overstated in today’s business world particularly in the light of current economic conditions.

These skills are a fundamental requirement for all professionals in any business environment. Numerous books cover interpersonal skills, but none specifically address their application within professional job roles, in particular those within the IT industry.

This book fills that gap, providing guidance on all of the key skills and forming a comprehensive reference manual that will be relevant to a huge variety of situations.

Topics include: building rapport; team working; leadership; negotiation; written communication; managing conflict; presentation skills; coaching and mentoring; problem solving.

Reviews

‘Whether you work in IT or any other part of your organisation, knowing what makes people tick is essential. This book does an excellent job of describing how people work together and what motivates them in practical ways that can be put to work immediately.’
Donald H Taylor, Chairman, Learning and Performance Institute.

‘This book provides a practical insight into the complex interfaces and relationships between people, technology, and the changing business landscape. It is a useful guide for managers and employers alike because without the “human touch” nothing is possible in the world of work.’
Ann Brown, SVP HR Capgemini
