Dear friends,
I have earned my PhD in soft
skills in 2011 and published six books and I am striving hard to achieve sanctimonious
status to “Soft Skills” as a discipline globally. I debunked several myths
about soft skills and offered right definition to soft skills. I do research
regularly to create curriculum for global educational institutions and
companies; measure soft skills; and ensure takeaways to learners and leaders at
all levels including chief executives. Here are some quotes on Soft Skills.
“Soft skills are a collection
of skills that are essential to survive and succeed in personal, professional,
and social life.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
“Soft skills are polite and
pleasing way of communicating with others, whereas hard skills are what you
contribute in the workplace. Soft skills complement your hard skills.
Precisely, soft skills are presentation of your hard skills in the workplace.
Soft skills are interpersonal skills, whereas hard skills are job-related
skills.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
“With hard skills, you can
manage your boss; and with soft skills, you can lead your boss.” —Professor
M.S. Rao
“Your hard skills help you
acquire employment and your soft skills help you ensure your
employability. Hence, integrate hard and
soft skills to fast-track your career.” —Professor M.S. Rao
“The way hard and soft skills
are essential to achieve your career success, ‘what you know’ and ‘who you
know’ are essential to fast-track your career.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
“Hard skills can be
automated, not soft skills because soft skills are interpersonal skills and
closely related to emotional intelligence which are hard to teach, train and
impart to humans.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
