Practice of the Week: Identify Your Most Important Growth Area
Especially in uncertain and anxious times, growth in both hard and soft skills is non negotiable. With rapid change and anxiety all around us, learning and development must be continuous. When it comes to growing competency, I want you to focus on both hard skills and soft skills.
Notes
Effective leadership in uncertain times requires a balance of hard and soft skills.
When it comes to growing competency, I want you to focus on both hard skills and soft skills.
- Hard skills - are specific skill sets and capabilities that enable a person to perform tasks required for a specific job.
- Soft skills - are interpersonal attributes that influence how effectively people interact and work with others.
To continue your journey, here are a few questions to help:
- What hard or technical skills are required for you to perform well? For each, rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10.
- In your setting, what soft skills are necessary to work well with others? For each, rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10.
