These statistics were extrapolated from A Study of Engineering Education, authored by Charles Mann and published in 1918 by the Carnegie Foundation.
1918??? So we have known for more than 100 years that soft skills are critical to success.
And yet, another report showed that U.S. employers spent $171.5 billion on employee learning and development in 2010, and a tiny… 27.6% of those training dollars went to soft skills training.
So when you sit back and scratch your head… wondering… why some people are 2x, 5x, even 10x their success… and their results… now you have research that tells you why…
Soft skills are six times more important than hard skills for job success, and yet… almost ¾ of all the training dollars go to hard skills.
