Soft Skills are Hard Work
Equipping Managers with Success Skills for Leadership
Christina Landes, HR Reliance
In this session, we will have an interactive discussion around the soft skills and behaviors that can help a manager succeed in today’s workplace. They include collaboration, critical thinking, empathy, persistence, adaptive communication, flexibility, and more. Too often, managers with great “hard” technical skills are put into roles that require excellent people skills. This break-out will explore best practices for training in soft skills, with a major focus on leveraging the soft skills of organizational leaders through coaching and mentoring. Participants will leave with actionable ideas and tools to implement with managers in their organizations.
