All about chemistry!
In the era of continuous technological advancements, where the lifespan of technical skills is becoming shorter, professionals are advised to upgrade themselves. People skills in the workplace distinguish professionals and make them invaluable. These skills can be considered an advanced version of basic human qualities. To future-proof a career, everyone needs to strengthen their people skills.
It is certain that most tasks currently performed by professionals will either be replaced by machines or robots. If the tasks are cognitive, AI can handle them, and if they are manual, robots can perform them. However, machines will not understand a person's mood and environment to respond in a human way, directly connecting with someone seeking a solution to a problem. Developing skills such as building trusting relationships, empathy, compassion, adaptability, listening, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking cannot be achieved by AI tools or robots. Professionals need to continuously hone these skills.
Since these skills are deeply rooted in a value-based system brought in from school age and home environment, there can be challenges in developing and strengthening them at the workplace. The mindset plays a crucial role. Using technology in every sphere of life, from home to the office, unconsciously creates a mindset of expecting everything on command and develops a lack of listening skills. A stressful work environment also diminishes empathy because stress overshadows sensitivity. If the work environment is less stressful and people-oriented, with flexible working hours that give employees the space they need to maintain a work-life balance, professional managers may conveniently strengthen their people skills.
The mindset of tech skills and people skills is quite different. While the approach of tech managers, in the long run, becomes one of viewing things in black and white, the approach when applying people skills cannot be the same. It can be in between black and white. The difference between tech and people skills can be described as follows: while tech skills can be developed based on mathematics, developing people skills requires chemistry. Managers who are strong in interpersonal skills and decision-making, have control over impulses, and are optimistic have more chances to grow faster in leadership positions because these are vital to keeping an organization moving forward.
This edition's cover story is about understanding the importance of people skills, the need for strengthening them, and the challenges in the route as discussed by industry experts and HR leaders. If you like it, let us know. If not, well, let us know that too.
