Learning New Skills

A Short Sharp Shock

I am certainly not the first to suggest that maybe it is time to retire the term ‘Soft Skills’ from the corporate lexicon. Then again, there are plenty of misleading phrases we use in everyday language, for example, what percentage of time do you use your phone to … well … phone?

‘Company’, ‘Officer’ and ‘Soft Skills’ are just some of the terms used in everyday business that started in the military. There are many more.

The military definition of ‘Soft Skills’

“Any skill that does not employ the use of machinery.”

Looking forward to reading your thoughts.
