Soft Skills

Introduction

Technical talent in itself is insufficient, all great organisations recognise that they have to breed, coach and nurture the soft skills. Quoting Sun Tzu, “Most battles are won before they are fought”. And, indeed this is very true, if all within the organisation has a positive attitude and the mental strength to overcome the negativities that tend to derail us from achieving success, we are already ahead of our competitor!

In our daily activities, we cannot avoid contacting, communicating and interacting with others. Communication skills and interpersonal skills are very vital “software” that we cannot neglect and do without in the business world. All of us are different in terms of personalities, behaviours and outlook. Therefore, it is important for us to understand interpersonal tendencies, inclinations and differences to get the most out of each interaction.

Other essential soft skills include supervisory and management skills, as well as leadership skills. This is not surprising as these skills can steer a fledgling upstart company into a Fortune 500 company, turn around an ailing organization, and ensure the continued relevance and sustaining power of an organization through the test of time.

To bleed is to lose one’s life fluids and is symptomatic of coming to an end. That would be the case if one is bleeding talent – losing the knowledge and competencies that dictate whether the company sub-performs, sustains itself, or surpasses its business goals. An organisation that develops their talent, engages their loyalty and insures their continuity.
