IT Soft Skills

Communication, teamwork, negotiation are among the most in-demand skills IT employers are looking. Technical skills are not enough. Employers are looking the well-rounded “whole” IT professional who not only understand technology, but also can work effectively with each other, and the clients the organization serves.

Why Soft Skills?

“Why, besides the threat of declining productivity, should employers support the development of secondary skills? Because, according to author Anil Singhal, secondary skills have broad positive effects on the office as a whole. Skills like coding and accounting create value in an additive way. Communication and leadership skills are multiplicative—they help make the whole team more valuable.” Read more in this Wall Street Journal article.
