Microskills
About This Book
The promise of this book is simple: buy it on Friday and you will be better at your job by Monday. It rests on one easy-to-learn principle, that every big goal, complicated task, healthy habit and even what we think of as character traits can be broken down into small, learnable skills. These can be practiced and put to use in real time, and the authors call them MicroSkills. The authors are award-winning physicians, educators and mentors who have heard the full range of challenges people face in navigating the workplace. Having often wished they had learned certain lessons earlier, they present what they describe as privileged information, delivered as efficiently as possible. Readers will learn how to build a career without breaking themselves, how to manage a task list to get work done, and how to build and maintain a professional reputation. The book also covers becoming a subject matter expert, growing and nurturing a network, and becoming a better communicator, among other topics. The authors describe it as the gift they wish they had received early in their own careers, and note that for readers it is not too late.
