You are obviously a talented individual. You intend to productively contribute to work by enabling your company to serve customers. Your active team participation is expected to get things done. You are the strength of any company. So, developing interpersonal skills training has become essential for individuals and companies on an ongoing basis.
Importance of people and soft skills
According to the research conducted by the Harvard University, Carnegie Foundation, and Stanford Research Center, the conclusion is,
- “85% of job success is the result of well developed soft skills and people skills” and
- “15% of job success come from technical skills and knowledge (hard skills)”
This is no surprise but eye-opening to all professionals and businesses alike.
The legendary Warren Buffett once said, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”
Developing Interpersonal skills is the key
They have always been vital for individual career growth and business growth. So, these skills inevitably play an important role in daily life, let alone work-life. You would develop these skills through self-awareness and your experiences with the people around you. The daily examples of such skills include,
- Understanding & conveying information,
- Interpreting other people’s emotions,
- Being sensitive to other people’s feelings,
- Calmly arriving at resolutions from conflict, and
- The practice of a polite attitude.
The list goes on. The best part is that most of us know what these skills are; the worst part is that we hardly work on improving them. Unlike hard skills such as technical knowledge, budgeting, or time management, these interpersonal soft skills are hard to measure. However, you must ingrain these skills to succeed or else risk peril if you ignore them. These soft skills can be trained through targeted Interpersonal Skills Development Training programs.
Personal and team dynamics are important for your development. Further, you would eventually make part of one or many teams to prove yourself and contribute to the best of your ability. But, your success is tangled with the success of the people around you. They make your team or teams. Hence, here are the important characteristics of high performing teams. Time and again these traits have proven to be worthy to build your credibility at your work.
