Important
of Soft Skills
Why soft skill is related to information
system soft skills like teamwork, interpersonal communication, presentation
delivery, and others are hardly covered. Soft skills to be equally important,
search for professional Information Systems employees possessing both sets of skills . soft skills are not
sufficiently addressed, and even if they are, it is not necessarily in the
context of software development projects
Drive/Work
Ethic
This is a difficult skill to quantify, but
employees will typically either display a strong work ethic and the drive to
complete tasks, or they won't. While a work ethic is largely an innate skill,
it can be learned with proper training and motivation. Some employees may be
able to develop a stronger work ethic with incentive based pay or monetary rewards
such as bonuses if they reach a certain goal.
Teamwork
The ability to work well within a team is another important soft skill.
Some employees may naturally feel comfortable working within a group, while
others may have problems and prefer to work alone. It is necessary to spot
these personality types ahead of time for proper group formation. Every team
should have a diverse set of personalities that mesh together as a cohesive
whole. Team building exercises can be very beneficial in helping employees
develop this skill.
Decision Making and Problem Solving
Being able to make quick decisions,
think on their feet, and solve simple problems are important employee traits.
Even simple problems such as a copier being out of toner can grind an office to
a halt if no one displays these simple skills. At least one employee needs to
have the ability to take charge of a situation and guide the others through if
they have difficulty. The employees who display these decision making skills
are often excellent candidates for promotion to management level.
