Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solve the number one problem with today's young workforce—the soft skills gap The number one challenge with today's young talent is a problem hiding in plain sight: the ever-widening soft skills gap. Today's new, young workforce has so much to offer—new technical skills, new ideas, new perspective, new energy. Yet too many of them are held back because of their weak soft skills. Soft skills may be harder to define and measure than hard skills, but they are just as critical. People get hired because of their hard skills but get fired because of their soft skills. Setting a good example or simply telling young workers they need to improve isn't enough, nor is scolding them or pointing out their failings in an annual review. However you can teach the missing basics to today's young talent. Based on more than twenty years of research, Bruce Tulgan, renowned expert on the millennial workforce, offers concrete solutions to help managers teach the missing basics of professionalism, critical thinking, and followership—complete with ninety-two step-by-step lesson plans designed to be highly flexible and easy to use. Tulgan's research and proven approach has show that the key to teaching young people the missing soft skills lies in breaking down critical soft skills into their component parts, concentrating on one small component at a time, with the help of a teaching-style manager. Almost all of the exercises can be done in less than an hour within a team meeting or an extended one-on-one. The exercises are easily modified and customized and can be used as take-home exercises for any individual or group, to guide one-on-one discussions with direct-reports and in the classroom as written exercises or group discussions. Managers—and their young employees—will find themselves returning to their favorite exercises over and over again. One exercise at a time, managers will build up the most important soft skills of their new, young talent. These critical soft skills can make the difference between mediocre and good, between good and great, between great and one of a kind.

Book excerpt: This volume seeks to examine the skills development agenda for youth by exploring two key questions for sustainable livelihoods: What are the skills needed for employability in developing countries, especially in Africa and Asia? And, what skills are currently possessed by students and secondary school leavers? An introductory chapter will set the stage for the discussion and analysis to follow by reviewing in broad terms the current research on relevant topics such as global youth unemployment, the relationship between skills and economic growth, and the expansion of secondary education. The following chapters synthesize a series of background studies focused on Africa, South Asia and South-East Asia, including both a general overview and an in-depth look at several countries. The chapters introduce innovative models for skills delivery, and highlight some of the key elements of successful skills models, including multi-stakeholder partnerships, updated pedagogy, and innovative financing mechanisms. Each of the five core chapters of the book covers one theme, with the support of case studies to illustrate successes, challenges, and lessons in real world examples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The achievement gap between white students and African American and Hispanic students has been debated by scholars and lamented by policymakers since it was first documented in 1966. The average black or Hispanic secondary school student currently achieves at about the same level as the average white student in the lowest quartile of white achievement. Black and Hispanic students are much less likely than white students to graduate from high school, acquire a college or advanced degree, or earn a middle-class living. They are also much more likely than whites to suffer social problems that often accompany low income. While educators have gained an understanding of the causes and effects of the education achievement gap, they have been less successful in finding ways to eliminate it—until now. This book provides, for the first time in one place, evidence that the achievement gap can be bridged. A variety of schools and school reforms are boosting the achievement of black and Hispanic students to levels nearing those of whites. Bridging the Achievement Gap brings together the findings of renowned education scholars who show how various states, school districts, and individual schools have lifted the achievement levels of poor and minority students. The most promising strategies include focusing on core academic skills, reducing class size, enrolling students in more challenging courses, administering annual achievement assessment tests, creating schools with a culture of competition and success, and offering vouchers in big-city school districts. While implementing new educational programs on a large scale is fraught with difficulties, these successful reform efforts offer what could be the start of widespread effective solutions for bridging the achievement gap.

Being defined by these challenges inevitably leads to collapse under their weight.

Told against the backdrop of a series of his own leadership experiences, Obenson offers a set of principles that enable leaders to achieve strategic goals. Using the power of stories spanning nearly two decades of leading change within his community and an international organization, Obenson challenges readers to think differently and focus on opportunities over challenges. By doing this and following the key principles laid out in the book, you will become a leader able to change the world.

This book was released on 2021-10-08 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher education has changed significantly over time. In particular, traditional face-to-face degrees are being revamped in a bid to ensure they stay relevant in the 21st century and are now offered online. The transition for many universities to online learning has been painful—only exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing many in-person students to join their virtual peers and professors to learn new technologies and techniques to educate. Moreover, work has also changed with little doubt as to the impact of digital communication, remote work, and societal change on the nature of work itself. There are arguments to be made for organizations to become more agile, flexible, entrepreneurial, and creative. As such, work and education are both traversing a path of immense changes, adapting to global trends and consumer preferences. The Handbook of Research on Future of Work and Education: Implications for Curriculum Delivery and Work Design is a comprehensive reference book that analyzes the realities of higher education today, strategies that ensure the success of academic institutions, and factors that lead to student success. In particular, the book addresses essentials of online learning, strategies to ensure the success of online degrees and courses, effective course development practices, key support mechanisms for students, and ensuring student success in online degree programs. Furthermore, the book addresses the future of work, preferences of employees, and how work can be re-designed to create further employee satisfaction, engagement, and increase productivity. In particular, the book covers insights that ensure that remote employees feel valued, included, and are being provided relevant support to thrive in their roles. Covering topics such as course development, motivating online learners, and virtual environments, this text is essential for academicians, faculty, researchers, and students globally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economic downturn marked a critical crossroad for the sales profession. This event dramatically altered the consumer landscape and forever changed the sales model required to successfully navigate it.Today, consumers are more skeptical, price conscious, product savvy and pressure resistant than at any other time in history. They don't want to be "cold called", "up sold", or "hard sold". They don't want to be "trial closed", tie-down closed" or "Columbo closed". They don't want "loss leaders", "red herrings" or "high pressure". These old school tactics have no place in this new consumer landscape.A fresh new "partnership" approach to selling has officially trumped the old "salesmanship" approach of years past. This book represents the transition point of the sales profession by introducing you to the "Gap Analysis Sales Model", a fresh new client-centric approach to selling that puts the client's need above all else.Bridging the SELLING Gap is three books in one: In Part 1 you'll learn how to accelerate your selling success by mastering the first phase of the Gap Analysis Sales Model -- ASSESSMENT. In this part of the book, you will discover exactly what questions to ask to fully uncover the gap between two reference points: 1.Your client's current reality condition, and 2.Your client's desired reality outcome. After all the difference between these two points constitutes the problem to which your product (or service) offering represents the solution. You'll also learn how to identify your prospect's "engagement profile" so that you'll understand what he or she needs to hear, see and know to support a favorable buying decision.In Part 2 you'll learn how to accelerate your success by mastering the second phase of the Gap Analysis Sales Model -- PRESENTATION. In fact, everything you do that opens doors and closes deals comes down to your ability to communicate yourself and your product or service offering in a way that compels your client to take action. In this part of the book you will learn how to tailor your content, structure your message and strengthen your delivery.In Part 3 you'll learn how to accelerate your success by mastering the third phase of the Gap Analysis Sales Model -- NEGOTIATION. It is important to know that there are only three reasons why a transaction will falter once it enters the negotiation phase. In this part of the book you will discover what these three potential deal breakers are, how to recognize them and more importantly, how to respond to them when encountered.As a point of fact, your professional success is a direct reflection of your competence in assessing client needs, presenting product (or service) solutions and negotiating collaborative outcomes. After all, this represents the value you bring to your profession and the more competent you are, the more sales success you'll experience. It's as simple as that!The Gap Analysis Sales Model is helping sales professionals "bridge their success gap" at a global level. Gerald G. Clerx is an internationally respected sales trainer who has accelerated the success of over 80,000 sales professionals from around the world, many of them now earning over 2 million dollars annually.Entire offices have reportedly "doubled their success rate", leaving their competitors in the dust, the moment they began applying the skills and insights taught in his training series. Now for the first time ever, he shares the Gap Analysis Sales Model in this landmark book. READ IT AND TAKE IMMEDIATE CONTROL OF YOUR SALES CAREER!

Book excerpt: Tap the psychology of human connection to drive meaningful workplace communication Human beings are born to connect—but in today’s increasingly polarized world, we’re losing sight of the importance of building and maintaining professional relationships. And that’s bad for business. In Bridge the Gap, two prominent Fortune 500 coaches explore how your biology and biography define and refine your behavior in relationships where you struggle to connect. Focusing on personal responsibility and awareness, meta-cognition, and curiosity, they provide a reliable and replicable framework to enhance open communication. And they illuminate the inner workings of the human brain and mind, and how they impact the way you connect, communicate, and collaborate. Inside, you’ll find eye-opening techniques to help you: Master your biological reactions when pressure, stress, and anxiety hijack your efforts to connect Understand how you and others can better learn from and listen to each other Lead with curiosity in all your communication strategies and learn how to give authentic feedback Feel more comfortable working on diverse team and embrace all cultural backgrounds What makes this book different from others is that it focuses on the how rather than just the why of fostering better communication. And, whether you’re entry level staff or a C-Suite executive, these techniques can be applied at all levels and all capacities. Filled with practical exercises, colorful stories, and illustrative case studies, Bridge the Gap reveals how to harness the real and raw power of your mind to build solid workplace relationships in any situation.

Book excerpt: The United States is abundantly rich in adults with "know how." By connecting mentors -- educated adults with expertise and knowledge -- with mentees -- teens and young adults who lack motivation, experience, and role models in their lives -- we can begin to close this gap dramatically. We can prepare the next generation for the jobs of tomorrow by adding real-world, project based experience to their education. Teach to Work is a call to action for mentors currently sitting on the sidelines. Whether you are a banker, lawyer, architect, accountant, engineer, IT specialist, or artist, you have the experience and skillset to become an ambassador of talent, grit, and transferable skills. The book provides a step-by-step guide to help professionals share their knowledge with the next generation of workers through this intergenerational experience. Based on Alper’s fifteen years of mentoring inner-city high-school students, Teach to Work proves how corporations, professionals, and boomers can have a significant impact on the professional future of America’s youth. Drawing from real-life stories and letters received from students, teachers, and fellow mentors describing pride of accomplishment, Alper helps professionals embark on this journey to transform lives, mentoring one student at a time.
