4. Soft Skills
Prof. Roberto Verdone www.robertoverdone.org
4. Soft Skills Hard Skills are technical and depend on the discipline considered. Soft skills are non-technical. Their definition comes as a consequence after the set of technical skills are defined. Therefore, they depend on the specific discipline/job/context considered.
Prof. Roberto Verdone www.robertoverdone.org
Soft Skills include the cluster of personality traits, communication, language, personal habits, interpersonal skills, ability in managing people, leadership, etc., that characterize relationships with other people. They are highly related to aptitudes. A term often associated with a person’s EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient). Actually, this is not fully correct.
4. Soft Skills
Prof. Roberto Verdone www.robertoverdone.org
The EQ measures your ability to manage, recognise and control emotions (yours, and of others).
