MIT study

World Economic Forum

Stanford Research Institute International

They determined that 75% of long-term success in a job role depends on mastery of Soft skills and only 25% of that jobs success comes from technical/hard skills.

Soft skills are what separate average performers from high performers.

Linked in

LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner has deemed soft skills to be the biggest skills gap in the US.  When your workforce is plentiful in technical skills, but lacking in soft skills, you may notice that some elements of your business face challenges.

LinkedIn carried out a study in early 2018 across 100 metropolitan cities in the United States and discovered a shortage of 1.4 million people with communication skills, since soft skills, such as communication, can lead to the prosperity of your organization, training your workforce in these vital abilities makes sense.

If soft skills gap persists, it will hamper businesses—already, 65 percent of CEOs predict that people skills are going to have a strong impact on their businesses over the next several years.

According to LinkedIn's 2018 Workplace Learning Report, soft skills are the #1 skills gap in today's workforce—with 89 percent of executives reporting that it's difficult to find people with soft skills.

One Reason for the gap, it is typically easier to teach hard skills than soft skills and soft skills development isn't usually provided as formal training programs.

It's easier to hire for technical skills than soft skills because it's easier to measure the impact of the former.
