Indeed, too many people are forever stranded on the lowest rungs of the ladder. Is it because they lack technological skills?Or because they lack intuitive and emotional skills?Generally, all over the world and over every profession, there is a serious dominance of soft skills over hard skills.
Are we relegating hard and essential technological skills to a subordinate position in the leadership race?Are we allowing wishy-washy non-experts disguised as office managers and chief executives to win the corporate laddership race?
