Numerous studies demonstrate that working with people is the most stressful part of a job. In this book, I explore this topic in 10 candid and authentic interviews, with professional managers and academic leaders from Asia School of Business and MIT Sloan.
In response the complexities of working with people, I propose 10 essential skills identified from my experience as an academic leader, skills that I coined as “smart”, (to replace the “soft”), such as validation, emotional maturity, followership, cognitive readiness, humility, productive inclusion and more. In the 10 interviews, you will hear how “regular” people navigate the complex waters of working with others, will get practical suggestions about how to develop your own smart skills, and realize that you are also one of the people that makes the job harder than it should be!
