When the Cap Falls

In his book, When the Cap Falls: Ten principles for a college graduate to launch a career, Joseph Garcia provides the new college graduate a foundation to make a positive first impression in the workplace.  Hiring managers cite a lack of “soft skills” in new graduates, including problem solving and creativity, leadership, coaching, and teamwork.  Garcia leverages an uncommon breadth of experience, including a military career, executive positions in the federal government, nonprofit board positions, and importantly, experience in higher education.  The ten principles identified in the book, developed as part of the leadership courses he taught at the Air Force Academy and The Citadel.  The positive feedback provided by his students, to his original and interactive lessons, inspired him to write this book and share his leadership expertise with others.   When the Cap Falls will be a must-read for college graduates for years to come.
