Are Soft Skills or Hard Skills More Important for Success?

Hello Fellow Strategist,

Are soft skills like emotional intelligence and communication the key to career success? Or do hard skills like finance, engineering, and coding matter more?

Research suggests that emotional intelligence plays a huge role in leadership—but studies also show that CEOs are more likely than the general population to exhibit psychopathic traits. So, what really gets you ahead: empathy or ruthlessness?

Join us at #stratChat this Thursday, where we’ll debate:
✔ The real impact of soft vs hard skills on leadership success.
✔ Whether psychopathy helps or hinders business leaders.
✔ How to balance emotional intelligence with strategic decision-making.

That's what we'll be discussing this Thursday at #stratChat:

📅 When? Thursday at 14h00 UK time
📍 Where? Online via Zoom
