Severance (TV series available on AppleTV) is easily in my Top 3 series of all time. There, people have separate minds: who you are in your personal life has no idea of who you are in your professional life, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In real life, it’s quite the opposite; the two things feed one another all the time. Much of what has been called soft skills<\/em> is exactly at this intersection. If you communicate well, know how to listen, etc., these are skills in your “two” lives. Let’s talk about two of those skills: ownership <\/em>and thinking things through<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ownership <\/em>is not working yourself to death; it’s being responsible enough to go after a task, to make things happen<\/strong>. And if they don’t, that’s fine; you trust the person will let you know they’re having problems. Trust walks hand in hand with ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By thinking things through<\/em>, I mean imagining the steps necessary to get something done, at least to a minimal level. Are you going to cook a recipe? The person has to list the ingredients beforehand, plan the trip to the grocery store, time to cook, utensils, etc. Want to do a project? It’s more or less the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The question is: is it possible to teach these two skills within the corporate environment?<\/strong> I honestly don’t think so. I don’t like the idea of innate talent or gifts<\/em>, but in practice, I’ve never seen anyone changing that much. And you? Have you seen it happen? If yes, how?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Severance (TV series available on AppleTV) is easily in my Top 3 series of all time.
