Soft Skills Dominate The Top Competencies Global Executives Seek In Workers

There has been an increase in demand for soft skills in employees over their technical skills as a world wide trend...

Some of the soft skills such as:

- Willingness to be flexible, agile and adaptable to change...
- Time management skill and ability to prioritize....
- Ability to work effectively in team environments...
- Ethics & Integrity...
- Foreign language proficiency....

Our soft skills and ability connect with others, communicate our message as well as showing concern and empathy for work colleagues, customers and suppliers is taking a front seat when compared to technical skills...

One of my close friends from Australia has a Dental Practice and he shared with me a perfect example of soft skill verses technical skill...

Jenny and Dave are the 2 resident dentists...

Jenny's technical skill is definitely a step up from that of her colleague Dave...

Dave's skill is OK, yet Jenny does far surpass him in the skill department...

The thing is, Dave has a lot more clients, even a waiting list, of clients to see him...
