GAIN THE COMPETITIVE EDGE IN BUSINESS WITH TWO NEW RELEASES FROM DALE CARNEGIE TRAINING®

THE 5 ESSENTIAL PEOPLE SKILLS:
How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts

LEADERSHIP MASTERY:
How to Challenge Yourself and Others to Greatness

As employees rejoin the workforce in the wake of a recession that, according to an October 2009 release by the Bureau of Labor statistics, has doubled the unemployment rate over the past two years, everyone, from the job-board searcher to the corporate executive, needs to take proactive steps to secure their future.

In a world becoming more and more virtual, human relations skills are being lost - along with leadership skills. And yet never before have these abilities been more valuable or sought after. Now, from one of the most trusted and bestselling brands in business training, Dale Carnegie Training®, come two indispensable guides for gaining the competitive edge:

- The 5 Essential People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts (Fireside; November 17, 2009; $14.99/paperback;1-4165-9548-1)

- Leadership Mastery: How to Challenge Yourself and Others to Greatness (Fireside; November 17, 2009; $14.99/paperback;1-4165-9540-X)

For nearly 100 years, Dale Carnegie Training®, the international leader in performance-based workforce training and solutions, has helped people at all levels of business get the most out of their professional lives. At the core of Carnegie's proven leadership and interpersonal principles lies a simple truth - applying appropriate assertiveness to all interactions is the most effective approach to building a successful career. The 5 Essential People Skills offers a proven plan for implementing assertiveness without aggressiveness in order to deliver a clear message, build loyalty, and achieve recognition and respect.

In today's increasingly transparent business world, an intimidating, demanding "boss" is no longer viable. Businesses are looking for a new type of leader - one who can motivate others while embodying essential leadership principles such as adaptability, trustworthiness, and the ability to distribute power. Leadership Mastery features advice from interviews with leaders in business, entertainment, sports, and academia, to teach invaluable relationship skills and reveal the secrets to dynamic leadership for any business structure.

Following in the footsteps of Dale Carnegie's classic How to Win Friends and Influence People, The 5 Essential People Skills and Leadership Mastery offer powerful techniques and easy to follow guidance for reaching a new level of professional and personal achievement in a demanding business world.
