Soft Skills for Technical People

Tell me about your soft skills, my technical friends.

I like the term social skills better. What skills does each person need to bring to the working world? What others make a person a stronger worker and colleague but can be learned and added later?

Here’s what I think.

AMPLIFIER SKILLS – ALL levels – these differentiate you, so develop them.
⇝Positivity
⇝Motivation
⇝Communication

Must have – from first job at age 16 or 17 through a career.
1️⃣ LEVEL 1
⇝Work ethic
⇝Dependability

Higher level skills that everyone should bring or aspire to.
2️⃣ LEVEL 2
⇝Adaptability
⇝Creative thinking
⇝Listening
⇝Teamwork

Leadership skills
3️⃣ LEVEL 3
⇝Conflict resolution
⇝Negotiation

Add them all up? Professionalism.

Remember to polish your social skills.
