The New Power Skills - by Scott Jeffrey Miller (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

In an increasingly competitive and hyper-efficient professional world, traditional "soft skills" are no longer enough to stand out. However, as workplace norms evolve daily and change accelerates at unrecognizable speed, one thing remains constant and invaluable: the skill of developing strong professional relationships.

For seven years, Scott Jeffrey Miller hosted the world's largest weekly leadership podcast interviewing hundreds of business luminaries and when Miller asked nearly all of his twice-weekly podcast guests what skills they consider most important in current and future hires, their answers were nearly unanimous: emotional intelligence, communication, self-regulation, active listening, collaboration, conflict resolution, and other high-impact interpersonal abilities. Never were they technical, "hard skills" that seem to dominate in past decades.

Drawing from hundreds of candid interviews on and off the air, leadership and performance expert Scott Miller breaks down 30 critical "power skills" that will elevate your professional presence, renew your relevance, and set you apart in any industry.

This hands-on guide will help you:

• Build and strengthen high-trust relationships
• Master interpersonal skills that drive career success
• Make your humanity your greatest professional asset

The reality? The threat of AI to the job market is real, but most career setbacks aren't due to a lack of technical ability--they result from gaps in interpersonal effectiveness. The good news? The skills you need to succeed are within reach. The New Power Skills is the must-read playbook for professionals seeking to grow their relevance beyond technical expertise and outdated standards of excellence for a lasting, successful career.
