Soft skills make things possible. Tasks can be completed by those with both hard and soft skills, you might think of the hard skills as ‘what’ got done and the softs skills where ‘how’ they got done. And it’s likely, that on reflection of a task, or place you worked that actually those colleagues/employees you remember for getting the job done with positivity, or effective communication, or good leadership skills are remembered by the ‘how’ and not the ‘what’.

Furthermore, soft skills are transferable from job to job, and the need for soft skills is not going anywhere! As technology and jobs change, this means that the hard skills will change with them, or the skills you had 10 years ago might have become obsolete. But, the soft skills you carry now can be developed continually and will always be needed.
