Introduction

In today's "People Skills" newsletter, we're looking at the first 12 books in our BookBoon soft skills series.

Bookboon are the largest publishers of textbooks and business e-books in the world with over 75 million downloads a year.

We, at MTL, have been partners with Bookboon for over 10 years and currently deliver 37 of our e-books and audiobooks to a worldwide audience and in a range of languages.

We share with Bookboon five guiding principles:

1. readers can access any book in less than three clicks

2. they are of the highest quality

3. they are widely used on campuses, business schools, and corporate organisations

4. they are bite-sized and hands-on

5. they are easy to apply in the work setting.

So, to kick you off, here are the first 12 of our published books...

01. Assertiveness

Assertiveness is one of the most important skills you can learn today. It changes the way you communicate, deal with conflict, and your own relationship with yourself...

02. Counselling Skills

Review: “This eBook introduces you to the “counselling approach”. It will keep those in higher authority grounded. I think this book provides an ideal way on how to deal with people and issues. I highly recommend it.”

03. Delegation and Empowerment

This eBook will give you the skills to create a new kind of organization in which teams are self-empowering and individuals are self-motivating. It sounds like Utopia. It isn’t. It’s a recipe for survival and success.

04. Effective Discipline

This eBook will help you manage discipline confidently and successfully at work. From the sensible approach to making rules and setting standards, to creatively finding alternatives to confrontation, it will change the traditional way of managing people into one in which people become true partners.

05. Facilitation Skills

When people are managed and led in ways that bring out their potential as individuals and groups, they can perform in much better ways than when you do it all for them. This is the promise of being a facilitative leader.

06. Icebreakers

In this Bookboon book from MTL you’ll find 65 of the best exercises to build team spirit in training.

07. Maximising Your Potential

This book is quite simply your companion to fully realizing who you are.

09. Teambuilding

What Next?

We hope you've enjoyed browsing through this selection of MTL Bookboon books and learnt something useful in the process.

If so, then why not look through other MTL titles in the Bookboon collection and also on our own sites at BiznizBooks and MTL/Slide Topics. Remember, that, on these two sites, you can download any book or slide presentation for free.

We believe that books are still one of the most important ways to learn new knowledge and new skills despite the prevalence of new forms of technology and information.

And, now that we have sold over ￡1 million worth of soft skills e-books through our friends at Bookboon, (now an Access Company), we look forward to the next 10 years when we can continue to deliver outstanding materials directly to you.

Thanks and good luck!
