During the 2018-19 school year, members of the Administrative Assistant’s Leadership Team participated in a book study regarding Soft Skills in the Workplace – Top 10 Soft Skills You Need by Dr. Pamela Wiggins.
Each member took a self-assessment prior to starting the book to determine their skill strengths. During each monthly meeting, the team participated in activities and discussions led by the sub-committee for Professional Development in relation to each chapter.
There are 10 soft skills identified as being needed in the workplace:
- Communication
- Responsibility/Work Ethic
- Team Work
- Time Management
- Empathy
- Problem Solving Skills
- Adaptability
- Positive Attitude
- Self Confidence
- Ability to Learn/Networking
This book review provided great insight on how we work best individually and as a team, and how vital soft skills are in the workplace.
