This month we feature a few keys to organizational
effectiveness: teamwork and collaboration. This month we have
featured our newest SkillSoft library addition, Executive
Summaries, as a book featured asset. We encourage you to
take a look at all of these promoted assets in addition to the
Take 10 folder that can be located under the Featured Topics
menu found on the left side of your SkillSoft home page.
As a reminder,
Executive Book Summaries are short
summaries of best-selling business books now included with
our SkillSoft subscription. Most summaries are 8 pages in
length. They are sure to prove useful informing our best
practices in business and leadership. To view them, please
