“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
The
older generations such as Baby Boomers and Generation X interacted with others
and acquired emotional intelligence and soft skills. However, they are not
tech-savvy. They are slow to catch up with technology. The present generations such
as millennials (Gen Y) and centennials (Gen Z) rarely interact with others. They are glued to smartphones
and gadgets. They are experts in digital tools and technologies. They are
tech-savvy. They are smart and brilliant. They must acquire emotional
intelligence and soft skills. Technology cannot replace soft skills. A
judicious blend of both hard and soft skills helps them achieve professional
success.
Takeaway: The
millennials and centennials must acquire soft skills and blend them with hard
skills effectively to excel as achievers and leaders.
