Great article to share, and I'm not surprised!
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math skills can be taught and learned.
Interpersonal skills, coaching, mentoring, dealing with challenging demands or people, being able to identify linkages or inter-dependencies across complex problems are not as easy to learn. They actually speak more to IQ and EQ, and both of those are developed more from genetics and upbringing.
What this study also says is that to get hired you need the hard skills (STEM), but to get promoted you need the Soft Skills. Which also means that kids in college should still be gearing toward STEM degrees if they want to work at a place like Google. Sorry, STEM experience, not degrees...we all know you don't need a degree to work at Google or in crypto currency.
