People Skills

People are different in the way they work due to a combination of various factors including personality, individual strengths and weaknesses, motivation, upbringing, experiences, cultural background, education, and beliefs. These factors shape how people approach work, the work habits they develop, and how they prefer to work. Additionally, situational factors such as the nature of the work, the work environment, and the people they work with can also impact the way people work.

This is why it is important for those of you in a management position to improve your people skills also known as “Soft Skills”.Soft skills are the ability to effectively communicate and interact with others, build relationships, and handle social situations and conflicts.
