The Power of People Skills
In 2017, Career Press NJ released Trevor Throness’ book: The Power of People Skills.
The Power of People Skills teaches readers how to permanently solve their chronic people problems.
“If you’re taking an issue home with you; if you’re talking over a business problem with your spouse; if you’re lying awake at night mulling things over in your mind; if you’re stuck while facing an impossible hurdle; if you’re feeling burned out or you’re thinking of selling the business and doing something easier, the vast majority of the time you’re wrestling with a people problem” (p. 18)
In the Power of People Skills, Trevor Throness teaches how to assess each of your team members, and how to develop a go-forward plan for each one.
If you follow his advice, you’ll build a strong culture filled with A-players, and you will put an end to your chronic, nagging people problems.
