Much of Dr. Tan’s research and publications focus on applying developmental theory and methods to understanding the issues of leadership development, women and leadership, work and family, and child development.

Those seeking hard data on soft skills will find it here, making this cutting-edge volume both a reference for scholars and a handbook for those seeking to build further strengths in leaders."
-- Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence
"Those of us who study leadership and have also served in leadership positions know that the biggest challenges are the ‘soft skills.' Riggio and Tan have put together a much-needed look at these critical skills and have included works from the known experts in the field. A must-read for both academics and practitioners."
—Leanne Atwater, PhD, Editor of Leadership Quarterly
