HIRE, DEVELOP, REWARD EXERCISE

According to LinkedIn, the Top Five Most In Demand Soft Skills that businesses are looking for in 2019 are: Creativity, Persuasion, Collaboration, Adaptability & Time Management.

Can't argue with them since our content addresses all of those skill sets. I would like to make the argument that most organizations say they are important and then do a poor job finding, developing and rewarding people with those skill sets. I encourage you to consider using the graphic the graphic on page two as a tool to evaluate your organization's effectiveness in these internal processes.

Assemble a group of cross functional employees and answer these questions. If these skills are TRULY important; your internal hiring, development and recognition processes should intentionally reflect that.
