How Soft-Skills Power Organizational Performance
Hard Skills
Skills that are learned to
perform a specific job function
and are more easily identifiable
and quantifiable.
Mostly about “what you know”
VS
Soft Skills
Skills that are less tangible, and
more associated with one’s
traits or personality, that
determine how we interact.
Mostly about “how you act”.

EQ
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the “something” in each of
us that is a bit intangible. It affects how we manage
behavior, navigate social complexities, and make personal
decisions that achieve positive results.
Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and
understand emotions in yourself and others, and your
ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and
relationships.
Travis Bradberry

How Soft-Skills Power Organizational Performance
Studies have shown that a high emotional quotient (or EQ)
boosts career success, entrepreneurial potential, leadership
talent, health, relationship satisfaction, humor, and happiness.
It is also the best antidote to work stress and it matters in every
job — because all jobs involve dealing with people, and people
with higher EQ are more rewarding to deal with.

While leaders need analytical competencies such as those
associated with strategy, finance and all the planning
processes, research on Emotional Intelligence suggests it is
increasingly the "soft" skills that differentiate those who are
highly successful from those who just get by.

How Soft-Skills Power Organizational Performance
What can’t be replaced in any organization imaginable in the
future is precisely what seems overlooked today: liberal arts
skills, such as creativity, empathy, listening, and vision. These
skills, not digital or technological ones, will hold the keys to a
company’s future success. And yet companies aren’t hiring for
them. This is a problem for today’s digital companies, and it’s
only going to get worse.
