In the customer age, soft skills have become more critical than ever. Problem-solving, delegating, motivating, and team building are much easier if you have good soft skills. Knowing how to get along with people and having a positive attitude is crucial for success.

Soft skills will make your hard skills more valuable. Hard skills are teachable and often technical, such as economic analysis, strategic planning, or design. Soft skills fall in the interpersonal realm and include listening, team-building, and leadership development. They are taught less than cultivated.

There is an ongoing debate about the importance of soft and hard skills, both necessary and complementary.

Even so, some things bug us, and it is unclear whether it is a soft skill that will solve it or maybe just a hammer.
