Editor's Notes Jeff introduces the company POLL Opening comments about the various terms. No one seems to like soft skills and yet we recognize that term.
Bottom line Same company, different terms in one year!
Bottom line Jeff – talking about the general awareness of and value of soft skills …leading to those we issue Creativity - Harvard Business Publishing, Persuasion – Cornell, Collaboration – Education Design Lab, Adaptability Anne Arundel, Time Management Harvard Business Publishing. How do softskills relate to emotional intelligence?
Moving on to my research Jeff’s research POLL – nature vs. nurture This is a discussion point. Pause ---- can there be a way to prove that the skills are transferrable. From the earner’s perspective. All Paul …. Challenge of assessing, challenge of getting others to recognize… Jeff and Susan back and forth. How can someone be so different in one context versus another with skills?
