Dear Prof.Raj
A good story (bit lengthy) on the importance of soft skills. But a graduate from a Top B School, not knowing about soft skills........ unable to believe. Each and every college and B School have been giving and imparting several soft skills to their students.
If the candidate had been cutting short all other candidates in the GD, in all probability, he would have been eliminated there itself and would not have gone to the interview stage.
If he had been poor in soft skills on the whole, he is unlikely to properly answer even the other questions since soft skills is all about communication, attitude, enthusiasm, image and so on.
I do hope you'll be able to take up my suggestions in the right tone in which it is conveyed. Being a Soft Skills Trainer and also a faculty in several B Schools, thought I should voice my opinion.
I'm also intrigued by the contents and the Title. There's no connection between the story and the title. Any special reason?
