Hello Abbas G. Atiyah

I had not heard about this, so looked it up. I found the following:

Soft skills include attitude, communication, creative thinking, work ethic, teamwork, networking, decision making, positivity, time management, motivation, flexibility, problem-solving, critical thinking, and conflict resolution.

The link precedes the above with:

Unlike hard skills that are learned, soft skills are similar to emotions or insights that allow people to “read” others. These are much harder to learn, at least in a traditional classroom. They are also much harder to measure and evaluate.

In https://www.thebalancecareers.com/what-are-soft-skills-2060852

However, this brings to mind the phrase that good leaders are born not made.

This paper, by Justin V Di Giulio and another author on ResearchGate, discusses this:

Article Are leaders born or made?

. . and concludes that there may be a small proportion of leaders who are born not made.

But when I look back, the people who have helped me most, have used soft leadership skills. They have helped me to help myself and have 'been there' for me.

Thank you for asking a valuable question,

Mary

Thanks for the mention!

Hello Mary C R Wilson

Thank you so much for your answer and your assessment of my question.

There are 11 Cs that constitute soft leadership. They are: character, charisma, conscience, conviction, courage, communication, compassion, commitment, consistency, consideration and contribution.
