I’ve stopped calling these “soft” skills, especially when hiring in the last year. They’re anything but soft, and no less important to a team.

- emmelaich 9y agoI've seen that argument before and I don't think it is helpful. You're associating the word soft with easy and hard with difficult -- which is part of the problem. Soft skills are difficult for many.
- heeton 9y agoI don’t associate hard/soft with difficult like that (I personally find soft skills difficult), but this is a good example of how the terms are ripe for misunderstanding. I try to use communication or personal or interpersonal skills, etc.
