Get Your Students Hired
I agree, communication is one of the most important soft skills. When there is lack of communication, problems will occur.
William,
Anyone who is a teacher knows that the first thing you must be is flexible.

I think Also that communication is the most important in all settings, whether in the classroom or other departments of the work. It provide a need for feedback, keep the communication active between teachers and students and coworkers. All soft skills are important, but its best when we prioritize them and make the communication the most important, it gives room for openness. You can learn from each others, teachers from students and peers from peers.
I feel more than one soft skill can be used depending on what type situation you are in. You must be flexable, and ready to use all of your soft skills.
I agree with the comments that communication is the most important soft skill, but communication is so much more than words. How we stand, our body language, tone of voice, and eye contact can speak volumes to a student in either a positive or negative way. Also I feel that the unspoken communication, sometimes demonstrates our empathy stronger than words.
I think the ability to work efficiently and effectively in a team is the most important soft skill for success in any workplace.
Most jobs will require some kind of team work or group interaction.
This soft skill will allow employees to work well in team settings.
ha nie,
If we have these skills we can overcome deficiencies elsewhere.

Jessalyn,
All of these are important. But as you stated they are all different based on the situation.

Allen ,
Listening is most important. Then picking through the message is the second part, and reacting is the third part.

Dependability has got to be one of the most important soft skills in the workplace. As employers, we depend on our employees (or students) to show up everyday. In return, our employees (or students) depend on us to provide them with an environment that will allow them to be successful every day.
There are several however, I feel the most effective soft skills are listening to others, motivating others and being positive in different situations.
I believe that being a good listener is one of the hardest an most important soft skills. This skill gives respect and when practiced properly gives you valued insight into the other persons head.
Joanne,
I agree with you totally. Respect is a two way street, but someone has to take the first step, and we as professionals should model the way.
Philip Campbell
I agree communication is extremely important as long as it is done honestly and with respect. They can tell when you aren't honest. It's easier to keep their respect than it is to regain it after not being honest.
Barry,
Motivation can help to overcome so many obstacles for students. If they stay motivated they will succeed.
Philip Campbell
The most important soft skills relate to classroom management and motivation. Helping students to understand EQ comes from being an excellent role model for them to emulate and understanding how what they see in you can be translated to their needs and workplace expectations.
I agree with Oliver. Listening and a positive attitude are essential to our population and helping them see that it is possible to be sad or upset but maintain a positive attitude. I think we attract whatever energy we give out. So by doing this we will attract possitive people and people that also willing to listen to you. It is better for a student to listen to someone positive than someone who is negative and will only bring them down.
