“You are guaranteed to win once you defeat the enemy within.”
Lack of soft skills kick you hard, hit you where it hurts and pulverize you at the most inopportune time.
Even if you are the most knowledgeable person in the world as far as Project Management and Management is concerned, you might still be totally ineffective if you do not know how to deal with other people and influence them.
Sad stories are repeated over and over again in every project and every interviews and every team meetings and around every appraisal….. All because of a tremendous lack of Soft Skills that are the polish that shine your otherwise impeccable qualifications and knowledge.
