Tolerance & Cooperation must be dealt with tactfully by the effective leader in any field, especially in a world where tensions within these areas are higher than ever. The book will then transition from a macro to a more micro scale. That is, tolerance and cooperation will be discussed as they apply to personal relationships, including with colleagues, teammates, friends, family members, and intimate partners. The student will see how their willingness to be more tolerant and cooperative will ultimately help them find success on both a professional and personal level. At the end of this book, students should understand why character traits such as tolerance and cooperation are so critical for their success in the modern world. Hopefully, they’ll also be empowered with the knowledge of how to develop these traits over the course of their academic career. This knowledge can help them as they prepare to enter the workplace and contribute (in ways both large and small) to their family, community, and society.
