<p>Soft skills ( people skills ) are what helps you relate to others, while hard skills are the technical skills we have.</p> <p>These skills include, but are not limited to the following:</p> <ul> <li>Good listener</li> <li>Accepts &amp; gives feedback positively</li> <li>Positive attitude</li> <li>Motivates others</li> <li>Has tact</li> <li>Is always sincere</li> </ul> <p>This list includes positive workplace behaviors. A short list is:</p> <ul> <li>Manage stress well</li> <li>Always in a good mood</li> <li>Helps solve problems</li> <li>Takes criticism well &amp; builds from it</li> <li>Always a good appearance</li> <li>Possesses &nbsp;good self discipline</li> <li><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Always welcomes change</span></em></strong></li> <li>Is always ambitious</li> </ul> <p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">&nbsp;</span></em></strong></p> <p>The top 10 soft skills are defined, in no particular order are:</p> <ul> <li>Attention to detail</li> <li>Being drug free</li> <li>Conflict resolution</li> <li>Customer service</li> <li>Dependable &amp; reliable</li> <li>Good working relationships ( being a team player) <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What is said &amp; how it is said</span></em></strong>.</li> <li>Integrity</li> <li>Positive attitude</li> <li>Understanding others</li> <li>Using common sense</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Interestingly enough, studies show that only 15% of hard skills &amp; 85% of soft skills are what is used currently, &amp; it only stands to reason that job issues arise 65% on soft skills &amp; 35% hard skills.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I plan to use this as an out line &amp; reminder to use apply &amp; implement these skills in a more efficient manor.</p>
