Soft Skill A Skill or Way of Being


-->
It is such a shame that in today's so called highly civilised and growing culture there is an increasing need for soft skill trainers. What dose term Soft skill training mean are we saying that we need to be trained to have a humanistic approach, we need to develop EQ that is emotional quotient aren't all these things our inherent traits as humans.

Yes they are but the problem is that in the craving to learn the technical skill that we are busy scoring high scores in these and forgetting our basic inherent skills. Soft skill is mainly about developing EQ our emotional quotient but in the rat race who has the time for Emotions do we????
Lets Think if a colleague or a subordinate is not preforming well what is our reaction ??
He/She is LAZY / DUMB/ NOT SKILLED ENOUGH / NOT PROACTIVE.
Do we ever think and question WHY ? 

Why are they the way they are ?.
May be we ask but do we really spend the time with them and try and change them . Because we have not handled our emotions and we have always suppressed them in the process to reach first in the rat race. 

So how can we be sensitive towards others emotions when we have not been sensitive towards our own. 

So my question is do we need training in soft skill or we just need to slow down and reflect. Do we just need to be what we are born to be Humans And Behave In Spontaneous And Responsible Emotional Beings.
