Soft Skills TrainingDeveloping People (and Their Soft Skills) is a Must, Not a Choice The assumption that job applicant screening will produce enough viable job candidates no longer works. This is especially true for sales. The demand for qualified people now far exceeds the supply. Employers are being forced to select overeducated, unqualified people. According to a
Leadership IQ magazine study, 46% of newly hired employees fail within 18 months.
Our public education system is doing an admirable job of pumping out technically savvy people. Unfortunately, these people are often seriously flawed when it comes to people skills. The "soft skills" are not taught, and consequently, you are put in the bewildering position of trying to get people to deal effectively with each other and with your customers.
