RESEARCH REQUIREMENTS: You must use four types of resources below:

• Use this book in Trident’s Library: Get Along, Get It Done, Get Ahead: Interpersonal Communication in the Diverse Workplace (from Ebook Central – Academic Complete)

• A periodical article from Proquest Central (published between 2020-2021)
• Resource found through an internet search
