Uitgever: Pearson
Auteur: Rob van Tulder

Being a successful participant in today's society requires an array of complex skills. Whether you are a student, a manager or a researcher, vital skills are interconnected, skills can be taught... and learned. The development of skills is a lifelong and accumulative process which can be enhanced, provided there is a willingness to take some time to understand the basic principles.

This book consists of a collection of circa one hundred skill sheets that explain the basic principles of skill development. The sheets are organized around a set of seven comprehensive skills: research, studying (self-management), reading, listening, writing, presenting and (project) management. Rather than developing these skills separately, the formula shows in a concise manner how they are related, and how one can (and should) work on many skills simultaneously.

Students and managers as well as tutors and professors will find the Skill Sheets collection to be an eminently practical reference book, valid throughout their entire education and career. It enables them to focus on active learning, constructive communication and a smarter way of studying.

The formula has been tested, improved and updated over the past fifteen years at a variety of universities, including the Erasmus University Rotterdam, one of Europe's leading educational institutions.

This book is accompanied by a website (www.skillsheets.com) with interactive tools, checklists, and additional information on relevant skills.
