The video lists the following eight soft skills as the most important: 1- Leadership: The ability to successfully guide a group of people. 2- Communication: This includes both verbal and nonverbal communication. 3- Interpersonal skills: These are people skills such as listening well to others, showing empathy, and being assertive. 4- Work ethic: This includes self-motivation, dependability, and a strong work ethic. 5- Teamwork: The ability to collaborate effectively with others. 6- Problem-solving: This includes critical thinking, logical reasoning, and the ability to make good decisions. 7- Flexibility and adaptability: The ability to be open to change and find new ways of doing things. 8- Conflict management: The ability to deal with conflict productively.

I also find that difficult. In that case it falls under skill number 9: Give good feedback. What I understand, is that good feedback typically contains: some motivation for the other to change, a clear formulation what needs to change and how to change, and the preservation/improvement of the relationship. I currently have 2 bosses, one older than the other. The older one is close to retiring and therefore slowly withdrawing from work. Unfortunately the other boss is not as good at communicating/cooperating as the older boss, which is also demotivating. This has become clearer to me over the past few weeks, but was already happening for several months. I now often return feedback to the younger boss, and it is clear that he is really desperate for it. (example: this week he interrupted my train of thought, and that caused the meeting to take much more time as I Iost what I was saying and found it difficult to recover from that, and everyone who I talked to who was at that meeting told me that this was not a good start to the meeting) When other people from the team talk in private with me about this. I tell them I agree that things are not going well. But I also try to create an understanding so that everyone is better equipped to solve the issue, rather than just saying that things are bad.

Sorry to hear this story. People get promoted for many reasons that do not necessarily indicate their leadership abilities like how many years they've been on the job, their technical competence, their history with influential people in the organization, their ability to "manage up" well but not people below them, etc. In my experience, supervisors like that often hang on and survive longer than they should but eventually get stalled out and lose influence and credibility. If you have a safe channel for sharing feedback about how poorly they do their jobs, then that might be a good idea to communicate that. I wouldn't "come after them" but if the organization asks for feedback, I'd certainly let them know. They may not get fired but somebody might talk to them and supervisors like that are frequently moved to lateral positions but do not directly supervise people anymore. For instance, I once worked under 2 to 3 very difficult supervisors. For a while, I thought I was the only person who had trouble working with these three. I soon heard that there were numerous complaints about them from all over the organization. Within the span of about 2 to 3 years, 2 of them had been completely removed from any leadership roles and the last person was moved into a job with a title of a leader but didn't have anybody reporting directly to them.

@@alexanderlyon It's ok and Thank you.. It was time for me to move to something else. I was able to be accepted into a tech bootcamp, and the time affords me to study for certification. And you brought up some interesting points. My former supervisor does have other employees that have complained about her, we also have an exit interview that we complete, when we leave the company in which I made sure I completed one. There are several other employees that a resigning as well and will be completing the exit interview.

I know these as ‘transferable’ skills, or skills you exercise that transfer to any position at any job anywhere. I have observed that these are largely tied to one’s personality (or gift mix). They can be recognized for discussion, even quantified (as here in this video; but for the most part they are cultivated (sometimes acquired) by experience. In other words, a company cannot necessarily train someone in these particular skills. That said, I see that it is important (1) to recognize these as skills, and (2) highlight them to potential or current employers.

I hear where you're coming from. The research on the trainability of these skills is actually really encouraging. Essentially, with instruction and effort, virtually anybody can improve these skills. We are not equally gifted as a starting place but anybody who puts in the time and effort and has a decent teacher gets better over time. In other words, these skills can be trained just like any other skill. I've worked with thousands of students and professional clients and I've watched them improve right before my eyes in just moments.

a great leader is not always a great manager and vice versa. an inspiring leader can sometimes miss important operational details when forging onwards and exploring ideas. a leader needs a manager, so they can lead. an effective manager identifies staff with particular skills (ex leadership or commeraderie, communication) and uses those skills to benefit the team. no one person embodies all of the soft skills, but an attentive manager can create a team that does.
