    <![CDATA[<blockquote> <p> What's the hard truth? Soft skills get little respect but will make or break your career. Master your soft skills and really get ahead at work! </p> </blockquote> <p> Fortune 500 coach Peggy Klaus encounters individuals every day who excel at their jobs but aren't getting where they want to go. It's rarely a shortfall in technical expertise that limits their careers, but rather a shortcoming in their social, communication, and self-management behaviors. In <em>The Hard Truth About Soft Skills</em> Klaus delivers practical tools and techniques for mastering soft skills across the career spectrum. She shows how to: </p> &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;manage your workload&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;handle the critics&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;develop and promote your personal brand&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;navigate office politics&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;lead the troops&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;and much more!&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; <p> Klaus reveals why soft skills are often ignored, while bringing their importance to life in her trademark style&#8212;straightforward, humorous, and motivating. Perfect for readers at all professional stages&#8212;from those who are just starting out to seasoned executives&#8212;this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to take his or her career to the next level. </p>]]>
