"Soft" Business Skills can Make the Difference

Many people will say that management skills are "soft" skills in the business world but in this day and age that is simply not the case. Any qualified graduate can receive an offer from one of the Big Four accounting firms knowing the "hard" skills of accounting but that's all those skills will help you do. People do not get promoted just from knowing the "hard" skills. Becoming good at managing those you work with is something easy to learn but very hard to apply in the real world. This summer I am beginning an internship at a renowned business, that I will keep nameless out of anonymity, where I will be exposed to manage different types. In this blog I will post examples of good and bad management that I see through the summer! Hopefully this is keep me from making those same mistakes and others who read this blog as well. Lesson 1: Learning how to be a good manager is important.
