What is Soft Skills?
Simply we would like to draw kind attention of almost 90% people in this country who have misunderstood this word “Soft Skills” and they think that this is completely a “Strange” word for them and some of them think that it has been imported from “Abroad”.
This is for your kind information that it is simply “Modification of Behavior” or in simple word “Behavior KO Sudharo” (i.e. Correct your behavior). Long ago, in the epic, MAHABHARTA, the Guru Dronacharya used to tell his disciple always “If you are strong by your behavior and character” only then you are a perfect “MAN” or Gentleman.
To add, as HRM, HRD, ADMINISTRATION and IR come under “PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT” likewise Soft Skills, People Skills, Social Skills, Family Skills, and Life Skills etc. Comes under “PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT” i.e. complete GROWTH and IMPROVEMENT in our DYNAMIC LIVING (Home Life, Business Life, Social Life, Physical Life, Mental Life, Spiritual Life).
Simply to say Soft Skills or any skills is a PART of your Personality Development. And now days this is considered as Sociological, Psychological and Anthropological process in totality.
We need to inculcate 60 Soft Skills in us but we strongly recommend even if you have the mastery in “5” Soft Skills which is just like “FIVE ELEMENTS OF A BODY”
(For example: Air, Water, Fire, Sky, and Earth etc.).
These five Soft Skills are:
- Organizational Skills (Decision Making, Problem Solving and Managerial Skills)
- Presentation Skills
- Interpersonal Skills
- Communication Skills
- Leadership Skills
Simply to say ALL other skills available or written anywhere comes under only these five. In other words, other skills are PART of these five skills in totality.
In fine, We would like to extend our message to everyone WHOMSOEVER would like to go for “SOFT SKILLS” is that “SKILLS” are not a GOD gift, this can be ACQUIRED any point of time in your life.
