This volume focuses on the assessment and development of basic management skills: time-management, interpersonal, conceptual, diagnostic, communication, decision-making, technical, and leadership skills. It draws on research and theory to describe the skills, as well as examples from practice in various settings, and integrates exercises, cases, and activities that involve visualizing, practicing, using, and extending the skills and self-assessment.
