Conclusion

"Soft skills are the cluster of personality traits, social graces, communication, language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism that characterize relationships with other people in the workplace. In an increasingly competitive and sometimes toxic and bulling environment, soft skills training has never been more important for organizational health. This book is designed specifically to help trainers and other organizational leaders build these important skills through a variety of methods including structured training programs as well as informal learning, mentoring and coaching."-- Publisher description
