Soft Skills: An Essential in the 21st Century Managers' Toolkit

Our environment is constantly changing. There is no denying that. However, as our environment changes, so does the need to become increasingly aware of the problems that surround it. With a massive influx of natural disasters, warming and cooling periods, different types of weather patterns and much more, people need to be aware of what types of environmental problems our planet is facing.

To be successful it is necessary to work with other people, to coordinate and have a harmony with them.

I have reinforced this standard of working relationship many times in my career and I am confident that my values, personal drive, and skills prepare me well for the work I have undertaken. Importantly I possess the ability to build strong business partnerships and working relationships, which is the key to ensuring the right outcomes. This is shown by my relationships that I have maintained with Guidance Officers, Teachers and Head of Departments.

In the world we live in the environment and those who live in it are all influenced by one another. These influences can often be positive like when a bird helps to pollinate a flower or negative like when humans dump toxins and other chemicals into oceans or rivers, which then kill the animals living in it and also the animals that consume those sea animals. Nowadays humans have more of a negative affect on the environment rather than a positive one, however some people are trying to turn things around before things get too bad. In Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach, “Pump Six” by Paolo Bacigalupi, and the short film Mr. Green we see how the relationship between humans and the environment has impacted one another.
