With the traditional paternalistic style of leadership becoming
passé, professional managers expect their teams to be proactive and communicate
openly. Each company looks for a different mix of skills and experience
depending on the business it's in. In fact, it’s pretty tough to predict what
they really require from new hires. Is it the ability? Is it the education? Or is
it the theoretical prowess? Well, don’t get sleepless nights over what you need to succeed, Last-Bench! has got your back...
To start, one thing is certain: it's no longer enough to be just a functional expert.
Today's service economy and the ascendance of
work teams in large organizations puts a new premium on people skills and
relationship-building. And with business being done at an increasingly fast
pace, employers also want people who are agile, adaptable and creative at
solving problems. Technical and job-related skills are a must, but they
are NOT sufficient when it comes to progressing up the ladder. To complement
these unique core competencies, there are certain "soft skills" every
company looks for in a potential hire.
Relax! Stop tearing your hair out. We can
almost hear the question ringing in your head- “What the are Soft Skills? Why
the %$&#! are they important?”. Simply put, Soft Skills refer to a cluster
of personal qualities, habits, attitudes and social graces that make someone a
good employee
and compatible to work with.
