In today’s competitive business environment, being “good” at work is simply not enough.

To stand out from the crowd, you must have the tools to communicate effectively as you collaborate, give and receive feedback, and highlight your value and success.

Still, some people get lulled into complacency about their marketability. After all, they may reason, jobs are so plentiful it’s easy to pick and choose among opportunities.

That shortsighted perspective can be deadly for their futures.
