Yale University Lists a Set of Soft Skills Managers & Companies look For!

BY Wm. Randy McKinley | President & CEO of The Company Doctors

In Businesses today, soft skills are among the most coveted skills sought by Hiring Managers and Managers.

You may ponder why, but soft Skills are easily transferrable skills and are not necessarily associated to a specific job, which is a win for the company.  Soft Skills benefit the organization far beyond the specific job, by impacting culture and the person who has these skills has potential for growth and taking on different roles.

The reason Soft skills are so important is because they revolve around personal relationships, character, attitude, help build stronger relationships, increase work performance, and improves the teams work performance.

After working with many companies, it was refreshing to see Yale University’s short list of desired soft skills that supported our own real-life experiences. 

Below is that short list of Soft skills that were identified, plus examples of desired behaviors we are seeking and our course recommendations that support the growth of these desired behaviors.
