Download or read book Bridging the Soft Skills Gap written by Bruce Tulgan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-08-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solve the number one problem with today's young workforce—the soft skills gap The number one challenge with today's young talent is a problem hiding in plain sight: the ever-widening soft skills gap. Today's new, young workforce has so much to offer—new technical skills, new ideas, new perspective, new energy. Yet too many of them are held back because of their weak soft skills. Soft skills may be harder to define and measure than hard skills, but they are just as critical. People get hired because of their hard skills but get fired because of their soft skills. Setting a good example or simply telling young workers they need to improve isn't enough, nor is scolding them or pointing out their failings in an annual review. However you can teach the missing basics to today's young talent. Based on more than twenty years of research, Bruce Tulgan, renowned expert on the millennial workforce, offers concrete solutions to help managers teach the missing basics of professionalism, critical thinking, and followership—complete with ninety-two step-by-step lesson plans designed to be highly flexible and easy to use. Tulgan's research and proven approach has show that the key to teaching young people the missing soft skills lies in breaking down critical soft skills into their component parts, concentrating on one small component at a time, with the help of a teaching-style manager. Almost all of the exercises can be done in less than an hour within a team meeting or an extended one-on-one. The exercises are easily modified and customized and can be used as take-home exercises for any individual or group, to guide one-on-one discussions with direct-reports and in the classroom as written exercises or group discussions. Managers—and their young employees—will find themselves returning to their favorite exercises over and over again. One exercise at a time, managers will build up the most important soft skills of their new, young talent. These critical soft skills can make the difference between mediocre and good, between good and great, between great and one of a kind.
Download or read book Soft Skills Training written by Frederick H. Wentz and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-05-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was hired by a major university to teach recently released offenders how to become employed. I walked into my first class intending to follow the lead of all the other job training programs in the city, which was teaching the students to properly fill out applications, write resumes, facilitate mock interviews, and locate employment opportunities. After the first couple of classes, most of the students were either not paying attention or sleeping. I quickly realized my presentation needed to be interesting, challenging, beneficial, and actually guide the participants on how to remain employed. However, I was unable to find any published material for teaching new hires the soft skills necessary to keep a job. This workbook is a compilation of the soft skills class material I have developed over an eighteen year period. I have used this material with great success and have taught soft skills in schools, inner-city church programs, nonprofits, and government funded job training programs. It is a unique collection of essays, exercises, quotes, and maxims that will give students a realistic perspective on work-related expectations and the expectations of the supervisors who hire them. It will help students develop their problem solving skills, guide them in making appropriate decisions, and create a desire to plan out goals and achieve them. The workbook style is challenging and playful, serious and engaging and a stepping stone to developing the cognitive skills necessary to quash unproductive thinking and self-defeating emotional behaviors.

Download or read book Soft Skills written by André Iland and published by iland business pages. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you look for a book dealing with soft skills with a difference, here it is! Yes, you are at the right place for the right material. This special book deals with not only the importance of soft skills, also the use of it both at your workplace and at your homes. The concern is that you are going to make a difference not only in your workplace also in your family. As the book emphasizes the importance of soft skills for making your professional career highly on demand, it also shows ways to make your family life more pleasant and happy - A search for a 'homely relationship' with your wife, and children. Soft skills are interpersonal and intra-personal skills and they objectively refer to a term relating to a person's "EQ" (Emotional Intelligence Quotient). This is a 'package' of skills related to personality development that including social skills, communication and language skills, interpersonal habits, assertiveness, friendliness and optimism that demonstrate the relationship with the other. Soft skills remain essential to any person who wants to demonstrate the maturity of thinking and responding to the people and situations. Soft skills are personal skills, which make a person more polished and more successful. Soft skills are part of interpersonal and intra-personal skills that play a crucial role in demonstrating the characterized relationship with the other. Soft skills differentiate a person from the other based on his/her interpersonal relationship within the group or outside of it. Behavioral experts say that there are many soft skills, which need to make our interaction with people or the environment friendly and productive. Another reason for training ourselves in soft skills is that they are not taught in schools or colleges to an extent comparable to the regular academic studies. Soft Skills make you assertive in your approach to your peers or customers. Assertiveness can be defined as the ability to express yourself without being rude or aggressive. The fine-tuning of character is done with the soft skills. Soft skills enable the employee to focus on real time problems and challenges that he/she faces ordinarily at the work place. Soft skills are not those, which are in demand only in work places or with colleagues, or with bosses. It is not that as an employee with a dream to go up on your professional ladder, you should not be demonstrating your soft skills professionally in your workplace or with your peers and superiors. Recognizing the individuality of the other and valuing their perspectives are important qualities of interpersonal relationship. However, it is also important to distinguish the difference between being assertively friendliness and submissive. It means, you should not permit the other to trample over you and crush your dignity. Strong interpersonal skills imply the ability to interact with confidence and soft skills make this possible for you in your life. This book is written keeping in mind the contemporary trend on soft skills and their importance in today's world. iland business publishing specialises in the area of reference guides for readers seeking practical information to improve themselves in careers, finance, and other related core business topics.We bring our readers the information they need to stay in step with required skills and techniques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible text looks at the range of soft skills sought after by employers and provides a practical guide to developing and effectively demonstrating these skills. Soft skills -- including communication, customer service, teamwork, problem solving, and personal management -- represent a major component of any worker's professional identity. This book analyzes major soft skills, including both inward-facing soft skills (how workers manage themselves to effectively perform their work) and outward-facing skills (how workers effectively interact with others and in groups). It explores how these skills are rooted in fundamental areas of liberal arts including interpersonal communication, psychology, and ethics. It provides an active learning pedagogy, including creative exercises and case studies through which students can assess their understanding of underlying concepts and their application in real-world situations. The book can be used as a supplement for communication, business, and career-oriented courses, and it will be of interest to individual students and junior professionals as well as career counselors, postsecondary instructors across the curriculum, and professionals in human resources and learning and development.
