Soft skills include communication, conflict resolution, and problem solving, which are important for managing people and relationships. Hard skills refer to technical abilities specific to an organization. While hard skills can be taught, soft skills are more difficult to measure. The nature of a project determines whether it requires more soft skills or a balance of soft and hard skills. Both skill sets are important for project managers, though soft skills may be more essential for leadership roles and achieving project goals that rely on teamwork and collaboration.

Self-esteem is a measure of how much you feel worthy and love yourself. Individuals with high self-esteem feel good enough without excelling at everything, are not afraid to speak their mind or admit failures, and are not devastated by failure. Insecure individuals are sensitive to criticism, withdraw socially, and often feel jealous or envious of others. Factors affecting self-esteem include the attitudes of adults towards a growing child, emotionally disastrous experiences, the status of one's social group, and one's role within the group. Tips for improving self-esteem include maintaining good hygiene, facing fears and learning from failures, avoiding negative people and thoughts, and learning to appreciate yourself without worrying
Self esteem refers to a positive overall evaluation of oneself and the feeling that one is competent and worthy. It is developed from both positive experiences like praise and success, as well as negative experiences like criticism or failure. Maintaining healthy self esteem involves pursuing accomplishments, focusing on strengths, and spending time with supportive people.

This document describes several training games to engage participants at a workshop. Game 1, called "Push the Wall", teaches participants to focus on issues they can influence rather than issues outside their control. Game 2, "Don't Alaap Apna Raag", demonstrates the need for standardization and working towards a common goal. Game 3, "Sky is the Limit", shows participants they can achieve more than they initially think by pushing their limits. The document provides details on setting up and playing each game to convey the intended lessons.
Teamwork involves people working together towards a common goal. It allows ordinary people to achieve extraordinary results when members create an environment where everyone can exceed their limitations. For an organization to be profitable, all members need to work together towards that shared purpose. Effective team building involves forming a group, learning to work through conflicts, developing shared norms, and ultimately high performance through cooperation, trust and good communication. Leading a team requires setting clear expectations, fostering commitment, and facilitating collaboration and creative problem solving. The benefits of teamwork include quicker solutions, improved productivity, shared workload, diverse ideas, better decision making and motivation.

Best practices for project execution and deliveryCLIVE MINCHIN
A select set of project management best practices to keep your project on-track, on-cost and aligned to scope. Many firms have don't have the necessary skills, diligence, methods and oversight of their projects; this leads to slippage, higher costs and longer timeframes. Often firms have a history of projects that simply failed to move the needle. These best practices will help your firm avoid these pitfalls but they require fortitude to apply.
2. Is the customer always right?
Of course not!
Still, our ability to handle difficult
customers with finesse and grace is
how we create great customer
experiences.
3. Are You Creating
Advocates or Detractors?
Death by water cooler?
People talk about us behind our
backs. Will they speak well of us?
Will they come to our defense when
someone else speaks poorly of us?
Our caring behavior today helps
determine what our customers feel
about us and what they say about
us tomorrow.
4. Dealing with a difficult customer starts long before
the customer arrives.
5. Gricean Maxims
• Maxim of Quality
• Maxim of Quantity
• Maxim of Relation
• Maxim of Manner
Created by Professor Paul Grice.
6. Gricean Maxims
for Cooperative Conversations
Maxim of Quality
• Do not say what you believe to be false.
• Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence.
Maxim of Quantity
• Make your contribution as informative as is required (for the current purposes of the exchange).
• Do not make your contribution more informative than is required.
Maxim of Relation
• Be relevant.
• With respect to this maxim, Grice writes, "Though the maxim itself is terse, its formulation conceals a
number of problems that exercise me a good deal: questions about what different kinds and focuses of
relevance there may be, how these shift in the course of a talk exchange, how to allow for the fact that
subjects of conversations are legitimately changed, and so on. I find the treatment of such questions
exceedingly difficult, and I hope to revert to them in later work."
Maxim of Manner
• Avoid obscurity of expression.
• Avoid ambiguity.
• Be brief (avoid unnecessary prolixity (verbosity).
• Be orderly.
9. What is the customer angry about?
Hint: It’s often below the
surface and not obvious.
10. First Steps When Someone is
Angry
• Listen with empathy
• Apologize when necessary
• Headline (Tell what you’re going to do.)
Page 14/Section 16
11. Three Tips for Dealing with an
Angry Person

2. Don’t try to reason while they’re angry
3. Express empathy
Page 14/Section 17
12. When You Get Angry
• Pause
• Be assertive, but not aggressive
• Breathe
13. How Responsive Are You?
• Respond quickly
• Adopt a can-do attitude and willingness to
go the extra mile for the customer
• Positive attitude
14. What customers Really Want
• Dependable and reliable service
• Responsiveness
• Competence
• Empathy
• Professionalism
15. The problem with “Not my
problem”.
We’re all part of the same
organization. A problem in
one area or department is
potentially a problem for the
entire organization.
Find a way to help your
brothers and sisters, even if
it’s just helping them find the
right person or department.
16. Avoid terms of non-endearment in the workplace.
• Dude
• Bud
• Honey
• Sweetie
• Buddy
• Pal
• Son
• Young man
• Young lady
• Hoss
• Bro
Sir or ma’am are
usually appropriate.
28. Be careful about the use of jargon
Different people have different levels of technical understanding. When a customer or end user asks you about
the problem, use your judgement as to the appropriate technical level of your answer. It’s usually safe to ask how
technical they want you to get.
Accurate, but Bad
• “Our BIND DNS server was using Dynamic DNS with our ISC DHCP server. Some of the A records weren’t
getting updated, which caused name resolution to fail.”
Simple and Good
• “It was a DNS problem and it should be working now.”
Accurate, but Bad
• “The VPN was down because of a key length mismatch, then we had an issue due to AES on one end and
3DES on the other, and you know what happens then!”
Simple and Good
• “It was a configuration problem. It’s fixed and should be working now.”
Accurate, but Bad
• “It’s a routing issue due to a misconfigured OSPF autonomous system number. None of the 10.100.200 slash
24 subnet routes were being propagated.”
Simple and Good
• “It was a routing issue. Thanks for letting me know. Everything is working now.”
29. • In fact, it’s usually safe to say, “It was a configuration
problem. It’s fixed and should be working now.”
• It’s not a matter of being coy. It’s a matter of
respecting your customers or end users by realizing
that most of them do not want a detailed technical
answer. Certainly, there are exceptions. For more
technically oriented customers or end users, a more
technical explanation is appropriate. If you’re not
sure, it’s usually okay to ask, “How technical do you
want me to get?”
30. soundthinking point
Respect your customers’ time. Consider placing a
soft limit on first calls, just in case the issue takes
longer that you expect.
31. For Reflection and Discussion
• Have you ever gotten disconnected?
• Did you ever receive support for the wrong
version?
• Did a support person ever end a session
without confirming resolution?
32. To-Dos
• Set up a test lab with the software or
hardware you support
• Study your processes and systems. Are
there things that would irritate you if you
were the customer?
• Make it habit to leave for your destination
15 minutes earlier than usual
