Soft Skills: The Real Hard Skills
- Soft skills like kindness, empathy, and patience are crucial for long-term success, even in business.
- These "soft" skills are the true "hard" skills, harder to find than task-oriented abilities.
Lead with Kindness, Not Negativity
- Don't mimic ruthless leaders; short-term success through negativity is not sustainable.
- Focus on building with kindness, as negativity, while powerful, ultimately doesn't win.
Practicing Kindness and Empathy
- Deploy kindness and empathy by starting with yourself, not judging others.
- Be kind in the face of negativity, not just when it's easy.
