Management soft skills: results oriented approach

Abstract

Management soft skills have been continuously underestimated by the state authorities, not establishing a proper balance between educational programs and practical application of acquired knowledge. There is a large variety of reasons behind, usually based on political, cultural, economical and social grounds. Some of them are relatively easy to tackle, others not at all, some need just basic knowledge, while others -deep and comprehensive understanding of psychology and extensive work experience. In this regard practical exercises combined with special environment better help to equip people with the required skills. In this article I present some of the most important findings and propositions to advocate more “practical” approach to the delivery of management soft skills. The conclusion is that the proposals can give a considerable contribution to the development of the discipline itself and to selected topics.
