Numerous studies show that hiring managers feel there is a lack of soft skills in young people entering the workplace. Joseph Garcia's ten principles teach to this gap in an original and interactive way. When the Cap Falls covers the leader's pyramid, developing a leadership signature, using creativity to solve problems, and how to be a good follower. Drawing from student evaluations of his leadership courses at the United States Air Force Academy, the Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, and Empire State College, Garcia has put the best of the best of his lessons into this one book.
