| Abstract |
"This book is part of the Human Centered Book Trilogy, the 2021 volumes of Routledge Human Centered Management HCM Series. HCM books are pioneering transformation from the traditional humans-as-a-resource approach of the industrial past, to the humans at the center management and organizational paradigm of the 21st century. HCM is built on talent and wellbeing of people in the workplace driving work engagement, quality standards, high performance, and productivity to attain long-term organizational sustainability in the global VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) environment. This book was carefully crafted by recognized international human centered scholars from 4 Continents. Models presented bridge persistent Soft Skills gaps in management and business and particularly between education and the workforce due to excessive testing and hard / technical skills. In contrast with hard skills Soft Skills are transferable across jobs, industries and applicable to all dimensions of life. Soft Skills are the common language of empathy, collaboration, team building, resilience and agility transforming organizations. Human and social challenges cannot be solved only with hard skills. This is a "must read Soft Skills manual" for survival and success based in attributes all human beings possess but not everybody is optimizing to excel in life and work. This and two complementary titles Human Centered Organizational Culture: Global Dimensions and Sensible Leadership: Human Centered, Insightful and Prudent are timely readings for leaders, managers, researchers, academics, practitioners, students and the general public responsible for organizations across industries and sectors pursuing quality standards, organizational transformation and sustainability"-- Provided by publisher |
