GETTING OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE

摘要

I have been in the same role for over a year and want to develop my people skills with a view to moving into a management role in the future. However, I don't have any experience in this area, where should I start? You are right in thinking about adding another string to your bow.

These 'soft skills' are particularly important in tough economic conditions when dealing with increased workloads.
