Soft Skills Are Not Soft
Hard skills were the foundation for hiring talent for way too long. Soft skills were considered, well, soft. We know this is no longer the case and, we, refuse to call them soft skills because we know from all the work we do with organizations, these are the POWER SKILLS that separate successful individuals and organizations.
Why do we call them power skills? Because without them, no one has power. Not the leaders, not the team, and not the company. Take a listen to find out why.
In this episode, we’re talking about…
Power skills are more critical than ever, especially with the rise of AI. The soft skills of empathy, co-elevating, coaching, and curiosity, are things lacking in the workplace and if we can do more work to educate and apply them then it’ll be interesting to see how the workplace can change. The combination of AI and soft skills will become the powerhouse of business success.
Power Skills are hard to measure. We know creating psychological safety in organizations is the biggest driver in team success and overall results. They are measurable, we have just been using the wrong system for measuring them.
Critical Power Skills, Time management, Communication, Adaptability, Problem-solving, Teamwork, Creativity.
