Soft Skills as a Prerequisite for Professional Growth: A Study

This paper explores the significance and role of
soft skills in career progression. The study explores why
critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and other soft
skills are vital for effective communication and business
success. Organizations are looking to improve employee
productivity and encourage staff to learn and imbibe the
best practices of soft skills. However, they prefer recruits
who already possess the necessary soft skills and prefer
educational institutions to prepare students accordingly,
along with the regular academic curriculum. This paper
aims to present an authoritative understanding of the
relationship between soft skill development and career
progression.
