  • 92% of executives believe soft skills are equally or more important than hard skills?
  • The 4 most-in-demand soft skills are leadership, communication, collaboration and time management?

Understanding The Difference:

So, what is the difference?

Soft skills are skills harder to quantify - such as your people and interpersonal skills.
