The importance of soft skills (the essential skills for the future)
Soft skills, such as work ethic, interpersonal communication and conflict resolution, are becoming increasingly important in today’s workplace. Research has shown that over 70% of employers value emotional intelligence over rational intelligence.
Hiring, developing, delegating, motivating, team building and problem solving are much easier if you have good soft skills. Getting along with people and displaying a positive attitude are skills crucial for success.
Why developing soft skills?
Organizations tend to assume that employees know how to behave on the job and expect people to understand the importance of being on time, taking initiative, producing high quality work, etc. But assuming that soft skills are universal leads to much frustration, especially in the cross-cultural context of foreign companies in Asia.
Companies increasingly need middle managers, with analytical and creative skills, fluency in cross-cultural team management; good communicators able to motivate their team members through effective impact and influencing skills.
