                        Difference between Hard Skills and Soft Skills

1. Hard Skills

  Hard skills are training qualifications or sets of skills that are easy to determine. Typically, you will learn hard skills in the classroom, through books or other educational materials, or at work. These difficult skills are often mentioned in your letter and resume and are easy to identify for the employer or employer. Hard skills include:

ü  Proficiency in a foreign language

ü  Certificate or certificate

ü  Typing speed

ü  Machine performance

ü  Computer programming

2. Soft Skills.

  On the other hand, soft skills are mental skills, which are more difficult to determine. Also known as "people skills" or "interpersonal skills", soft skills are concerned with how you communicate and interact with other people. Soft skills include:

• ü  Communication
• ü  Flexibility
• ü  Leadership
• ü  Inspiration
• ü  Patience
• ü  Encouragement
• ü  Problem solving ability
• ü  Team work 

10 Soft skills.

1. Complex Problem Solving

    Identify the real problem, not just some of the symptoms that are being caused by the problem. While understanding the problem, do not unduly consider anything that has nothing to do with your problem, just focus on the real problem. You can also consider the rest of the things. Get very familiar with your problem, and then understand it well.

Problem solving skills that are needed in everyday life depending on the type of problem (simple or complex). Although design and structuralism contribute to the problem-solving process, timely decision-making in the situation will increase success, including: identifying the problem, creating a realistic picture of it, finding the right solution, decision-making, implementation, and monitoring. Make feedback.

2. Critical Thinking

    This concept has been around for 2500 years. A person with this type of skill will be able to understand the logical connection between ideas and have the power to recognize and evaluate. Also understand the relevance and importance of ideas and have the power to express their ideas and opinions. This skill promotes language skills, creativity and… in the individual. Introduction: In recent years, critical thinking skills have become an essential component of education. The purpose of this study was to review the literature on critical thinking, determine the dimensions of critical thinking, factors related to critical thinking, tools to measure critical thinking, and various strategies to enhance critical thinking.

    Materials and Methods: The authors reviewed the literature on critical thinking, education, critical thinking enhancement strategies, and research and theoretical texts related to critical thinking problems. Critical thinking is defined as: objective thinking, self-judgment that interprets interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and reasoning as well as evidence, outline, methodology, and contextual examination. Dimensions of critical thinking include cognitive skills and emotional inclinations.

    Factors such as personality, culture, spiritual and mental development, communication and interpersonal skills, development, confidence, etc. influence critical thinking. The California Critical Thinking Skill Test, California Critical Thinking Factors or Trend List, Nennis & Wear's Written Critical Thinking Test, Kernel Critical Test, and Watson & Glaser Critical Thinking Assessment can be used to measure critical thinking. Some strategies such as written and oral assignments, multiple choice questions, case studies, clinical records, faculty and simulation roles promote active learning and encourage the development of critical thinking skills.

      Discussion and conclusion: While the ability to think critically is an important outcome of education, a review of the literature suggests that there are various definitions and tools to measure it. Further research and continued development of reliable tools to measure students' critical thinking are needed to guide educational strategies that effectively present critical thinking among students.

3. Creativity & Innovation

  You must have heard a lot these days that people use the terms "creativity" and "innovation" instead of each other in their everyday interactions. Where is creativity and innovation do not have the same concepts. In this article, we will first get to know all these concepts and then explain their differences:

What is creativity?

Creativity is a thought process that leads to the production of ideas. Creativity is the use of the ability to imagine and create a new thinking or concept. The creative process has three important levels: discovery, invention and creation.

Discovery: Discovery is the lowest level of creativity. As the name implies, search is when you find out about something and find it. For example, there is an art, called "exploratory art", which can be the result of a unique pessimism with a specific pessimism, or a stone with a piece of wood. Many inventions begin with a simple search.

Invention: A high level of discovery; This is called an invention. For example, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. But "Was the Bell Phone Invented?" the answer is yes. Finally, the telephone was invented due to science. It may take more time but it happened. So although invention is more than discovery, but what happens. If you don't invent something, someone else will.

Mode: Highest degree of creativity. For example, the play "Othello" is entirely made up. A play without Shakespeare, but no one else could write Othello.

Likewise, there are things that only your organization can create! Understanding this is the key to success. There are people in organizations who are more inclined to come up with ideas than others and are generally not satisfied with the current situation. They try new things and accept potential threats. These people are creative.

Creativity and innovation is actually turning a new idea or image into a reality. The ability to see and understand the world in a new way to find hidden and overlooked patterns. Of course, creativity and innovation have two trends. Thinking and production.

If you have a new idea or thought but can not implement it, you can say that you are not creative.

4. People Management

 People management: what is the importance and how to do it?

Fortunately, entrepreneurs have for some time understood that the results of their business depend on people, more than anything else. Both the success and failure of an organization is the result of the performance of the professionals working there, which is why the subject of people management has been so debated.

What are the benefits of managing people?

The time has come when those responsible for the human resources sector and the personal department were limited to hiring, firing, remuneration and other functions related to bureaucracy and other functions of the sector.

Currently, the main focus is on the alignment between human resources and the strategic plan of the organization. The main benefits of this management model are:

• ü  Ensuring a healthy work environment;
• ü  Better management of productivity and quality of services provided;
• ü  Better motivation and commitment from colleagues;
• ü  Create more effective methods for continuous improvement of personal and organizational performance;
• ü  Alignment between organization and executives' expectations;
• ü  Talent development and retention;
• ü  Creation of tasks to achieve company objectives.
•     Which refers to role-playing as a practice in educating people or motivating them to improve and perform better, which is the most difficult and important role in managerial discussions.

5. Coordinating with Others

  This skill includes the ability to organize your work and link it to others and pay attention to different activities simultaneously. Of course, by prioritizing and delegating priority if necessary.

6. Emotional Intelligence

This skill refers to a person's ability to control emotions and use it to increase the power of thinking. People with high emotional intelligence perform better in forming and maintaining interpersonal and group relationships.

7. Judgment & Decision Making

  In this skill, a person chooses an option from among several possible options to solve problems. An issue that is clear is the risk-taking and acceptance by the individual.

What is the decision?

Decision making involves the process of choosing the most feasible option to achieve a certain objective.

Decision making is present day to day in companies or organizations, whether large or small, and it is therefore important to identify its process.

The decision making process

During decision making, 4 different processes are identified: intelligence, design, selection and review.

v  Intelligence: Define restrictions and limitations to be solved, identify factors and problem.

v  Design: Development of course of action and evaluation of options to be taken.

v  Selection: Select the best option and apply it.

v  Review: Check whether the chosen option solved the problem.

This skill is a key component of management skills.

8. Service – Orientation Management

  It is called the ability and desire to anticipate, recognize and meet the needs of others. People with this skill strive to provide satisfaction and accessibility and focus to those around them.

9. Negotiation

  It is a method that people use to resolve disputes.

Interaction has become an essential part in organizations, as we also interact with our competitors, with the image we want to deliver to our product, the way we are going to reach them and with our internal processes.

What is a conversation?

  Individually, the "interaction" is that both parties, the buyer and the seller, arise from the satisfied table, one as the buyer and the other as the seller, making this bidirectional action. If neither of them does so, we cannot say that the conversation was successful.

v  Terms of negotiation

v  There should be a clear objective on both sides, otherwise we can say that there is an imposition by one party, and we cannot say this dialogue either.

v  There is not always a right negotiation, when neither side is interested; all possibilities of negotiation are lost, for it must be the intention to reach agreements that will bring us to this process.

v  Never, in negotiation should we seek our advantage, here both sides must win, hence the famous phrase "win - win", otherwise we will submit our terms and he is not negotiating.

What skills are required to communicate?

  Before we could say that a seller, consultant or executive was born and over time it became distinctive. For the negotiation part, it is not born, it is done and we can achieve this by developing the skills of our employees, such as: 

v  Soul: It must go with all intentions of doing business, not because they send it.

v  Optimistic: Always with a smile on your mouth and with your best intentions.

In this way, people try to understand the problem and achieve the best possible result.

In negotiation, people seek mutual benefits and maintain a key relationship for a successful outcome.

10. Cognitive Flexibility

  The mind is the ability to switch between thinking in two different concepts and in other words thinking about multiple concepts simultaneously by considering different aspects of thought.
